My dd is 3.5 and is very head strong,inquisitive and a handful.
Food is becoming a bit of an issue which is wearing me down. From morning till night all I hear is moaning and whining that she is hungry and wants a snack yet when I give her a meal she screams and cries and has hysterics.
At the moment her diet consists of milk, squash, yoghurt, bread, dry cereal,cereal bars and a little fruit and cheese
She actually looks repulsed at her plate. We can't eat as a family because she causing such an issue nor can we go to a cafe, restaurant etc.
I cook from scratch mostly and sometimes for speed give her chips fish fingers, even treated her a MacDonald etc yet all of it is rejected very loudly.
I include her in making the shopping list, watches me cooking and seems to enjoy it yet won't even try a taste.
I am fed up with hearing her whining about being hungry yet she won't eat. I have tried ignoring her, not giving snacks,begging her, conjoling her. Rewards of pudding and asking her what she wants, she chooses then rejects it.
She is 75th centile for both weight and height. I am worried about her health and creating food issues.
Please can anyone help.
