My eldest daughter (4 in March) has always been a poor eater. Things improved in the summer when we hit on playing her favourite word games when she ate a spoonful. But these are wearing thin again. I get her to choose between 2 meals so she doesn't just get her favourite all the time but even with things she likes she just says 'no' sometimes when we get to the first spoonful.
Has anyone got any suggestions? This has gone on too long to be a fad. It probably is a control thing - she is very physically disabled so mealtimes would seem to be the times of day she boss us around. How can we get her to enjoy food, and even new things?
Thanks
