If there is nothing available except what is prepared, he will soon learn to eat and enjoy it. With my picky 3 year old, when he gets down from the table I pick up his plate and empty it. When he comes back I tell him I thought he was finished and he can eat at the next meal. His parents allow him to graze, but he is quickly learning it does not work with Gramma.<br />Erectile dysfunction!!! Scarey. Think we will have veggies for dinner tonight.:)Gramma 2 Manyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973534029927632805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193865144146302051.post-24362692190054771032010-11-18T13:40:29.652-08:002010-11-18T13:40:29.652-08:00You should tell him that a lack of variety, especi...You should tell him that a lack of variety, especially veggies will lead to Erectal Dysfuntion and baldness...quote The American Journal of Medicine.Kerry O'Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14951445594586971908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193865144146302051.post-76262184770536847052010-11-18T13:35:14.162-08:002010-11-18T13:35:14.162-08:00Follow my recipe, and add oatmeal to the sloppy jo...Follow my recipe, and add oatmeal to the sloppy joes.

As you win his trust his palate will improve. hopefully he has a counsellor. Food issues are not restricted to females and he has got some doesn't he. Hang in there your a trouper. Negative attention is better than none isn't it? I think your rule of eat it or go hungry is just right. And I wouldn't make anything out of it just ignore the behaviors he has that you don't like about food. Maybe you should tell him he is excused from the table when he complains and scrape that plate.
