YOur child is my child's twin. So very hard. It makes me feel like I am a failure as a parent. Literally, crying screaming, gagging, if anything new. I have tried everything. [ Reply | More

This is a very bad idea. Don't hide veggies or present them as something that are so terrible that the only way to eat them is by being tricked. [ Reply | More

I pound out and grill chicken cutlets. Then bang out fun shapes with cookie cutters. Takes a minute or two and it is fun. The scraps I chop up and put on a salad for myself. [ Reply | More

turkey meatballs from TJ, fish sticks; sometimes it is just yogurt or cottage cheese, toasted cheese, peanut butter on a wheat bagel. He eats everything they put in front of him for lunch/breakfast at daycare, so I don't get too worked up if he doesn't eat a lot for dinner. [ Reply | More

keep serving them. He doesn't have to eat them, but he doesn't get anything else. Just offer what you are eating and he eats or not, kitchen closed. [ Reply | More

lasagna with ground turkey and spinach (all 4 food groups)! Bisquick "quiche" --eggs, grated zucchini (you can also use broccoli, spinache,etc) shredded cheese (any kind) and a little bisquick in a square glass pan baked in the oven.
