Pre schooler eating habits grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

[fifitot]

DD is driving me mad! At nursery she eats a wide and varied diet but at home we have the usual food refusals unless it's fish fingers, mash, beans or a certain pasta ready meal! I have really tried to vary her diet and spend ages slaving away with Annabel Karmel and she never likes what I cook! I always refuse to give her anything else when she refuses but it makes no difference long term.

God that she would eat brocolli or a home made pasta sauce for once in her life!!!!

I had this with ds in fact he still sometimes refuses to eat when there is a change in the house which worries me but what we did was let him help me make dinner.

He seems to love eating it if he has helped I think because it has given him a bit of control I also get the cook book down and let him choose what to cook but if he doesn't eat it he doesn't choose and help next time.

Also seems to make it fun for him and he know associates eating with being fun.

Also told him broccoli was trees now it is his favorite vegetable. Good luck hope you solve this.

Thanks.
