I am having real problems feeding my 9 year old daughter. If I try to give her any vegetables she picks them out. Shopping has become hell and I often wander around Adsa/Tesco wondering what to feed her.
She will eat omelette, pasta, mild cheese, rice, chicken, tomatoes, sweetcorn, pork, bacon, sausages (chipolata's), beefburgers, fish fingers, chicken curry, chicken fried rice, potatoe scones, yorkshire pudding and bread.
She is fairly good at eating fruit and will eat strawberries, grapes, melon, kiwi, apples, mango, oranges and pineapple. Will not touch potatoes (in any shape or form), carrots, peppers, brocolli, cauliflower, peas, courgettes and turnip.
Am desperate. Tried being forceful but this does not work. Dinner becomes a disruptive nightmare - swinging on chair, puting brother off dinner, picking at food with fingers.
Can anyone help me?
