To think just don’t offer them beige food?

[Ashlll]

Or am I spectacularly uneducated here? My sister has a 3 year old who apparently will only eat beige food and mostly crisps. She says it’s a sensory thing and we have to respect it when around him, for example when I took him and dd out last week I had to give him quavers rather than the snacks I had got for dd… which then made dd want quavers too! Same with water, he won’t drink it and it has to be juice.

I am not massively strict but did say to dsis just don’t buy these things then he won’t know he can ask for them… she says he just won’t eat or drink. I think this is ridiculous (I’ve not said this to her). AIBU?!?

Ouch, that procedure sounds nasty. Interestingly, I work as a TA now as supply in different schools and I don't think I have seen a single brace. Is that because dentists are like hen's teeth these days or because there isn't such a push to straighten teeth, I wonder?
This is an off the thread topic, maybe I should start a new one as it's quite an interesting subject..

I was the 'fussy' eater.
My mum forced me to eat things that made me gip, the smells were horrific, textures were freaky and yes it really was that bad because I had undiagnosed sensory issues.

My child will only eat the same dinner meals on rotation, 2 different meals, literally. He eats a wide variety of fruit and has some lunch mix ups so not all bad but for dinner.... The same two dinners.

Maybe some children are fussy but fussy is a label given because people don't get the sensory thing with food and children.
