I have a kindergarten child who I've had for nearly 3 years. This child has always been super picky about fruits and veggies. I once had them eating apples, corn, carrots, tomato sauce. But it's become so much worse over the past year. Recently all the kids got a gross cold around the same time and I noticed that everyone but this kid haas now recovered. This child is still coughing, runny nose, cranky 2 weeks later. The only real difference is that all my other kids eat whatever I give them. When I started thinking about this kids diet all this kid will eat is bread, crackers, granola bars, yogurt and only if its a tube, cheese or milk if they FEEL like it. I've tried saying everyone must eat 5 bites of everything before leaving the table. This kid will sit all day before eating one bite. I've tried for one snack a day offering only things this child finds unacceptable(in the hope they will eat out of simply having no other chioice) like non tube yogurt and a variety of cut up fruit. Nope, kid will starve until next meal. This child receives fruit ONLY from juice! Won't even eat tomato soup or smoothies. I love this kid and otherwise mom and dad are great, but this kid is sickly, tired, constipated tons. I've asked mom and dad about diet at home they say the kid won't eat veggies or fruit but they're not too concerned as long as the kid ears something. School snack packed by parents is always fruit roll up, Rice Krispies squares, chips, chocolate bars and a juice. I feel so frustrated and worried for the kid but there is nothing I can do if parents aren't in board.
