My six-year-old GS used to eat absolutely everything and, frankly, was a pretty chubby toddler. He has grown taller and slimmed down but has become an EXTREMELY fussy eater. I’m talking about being picky about the actual type of cheese, for example. He won’t even eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. His parents accept this due to their belief that they shouldn’t make eating a big issue but I feel they also over-indulge it in terms of giving him the choice of what to eat as well as going to great lengths to make his food “cute;” you should see his school lunches with little sandwiches cut into shapes, veggies on little skewers, etc. I was a very picky eater as a child (according to my mum) and she always told me that my doctor would tell her that, “she’ll eat when she’s hungry.” My appetite and preferences completely altered when I hit puberty and I became a very eclectic eater so I know things can change but wonder about how far his pickiness should be indulged. Naturally, I do NOT offer any opinions.
Shall we reboot our cartoons thread again? 😁
