I’m not even convinced this is the solution! But I do need some help as my children are driving me bananas.
I have a four and a half year old, who starts school in September. Behaviour has been a bit tricky of late and after four years of eating most things he’s suddenly and inexplicably become very fussy, refusing foods he’s eaten for years with odd claims. Previous favourites like bolognaise and chilli are rejected because of onions (!) the chilli is apparently too spicy ,.. it’s always too hot (even when it’s stone cold!) you get the idea.
In fairness to him he does eat veg but he’ll often only eat the veg. For example, the other day he had salmon, half a baked potato, corn on the cob and broccoli and he ate the broccoli and corn but I had to bag him to eat the potato and salmon and most didn’t get eaten. Then he’s hungry later because of course the veg isn’t filling!
My DD is two in August and is much more fussy. She won’t really eat much fruit or veg at all but will eat it when mixed into casseroles or bolognaise but now DS is refusing those!
I’m finding it a bit stressful as their diet is important to me. They both go to nursery three days a week and eat well there, though DD is hit and miss, but this week I have them five days a week out of seven and I need some ideas and help.
So onions are out (!) both will eat peas … any suggestions?
