So I was asked are picky eaters born or brought up to be one? We were invited to a birthday party today – and as usual – as m uch as the kid loves to go to parties – she refuses to eat anything at the party. Usually the parents would have fruits, pizza and pop for the party – even during chloe’s own birthday party – we had pizzas, chicken wings, fruits, chips but as usual – she won’t eat them.
The expert said that picky eaters are raised that way because of their parents but I can tell you that’s not true – in our household. We’ve encouraged and asked her to try everything and even bribe her to try new food – but nope – no way even if her life depended on it. So when I read on Parents Today while looking at some term life insurance quotes that picky eaters were made to be one – I cannot but shake my head – if only they knew how we’ve tried all ways to get Chloe to try all sorts of food. *sigh* – so for those parents like myself – don’t feel bad when you read the same article – i know it .. and you know it.
