Good evening, everyone! Just joined the group and have a huge predicament on my hands. I'm doing the best to my ability with this so any advice is greatly appreciated. Apologies for weird formatting as I'm mobile.My child is eight & the only grandchild on both sides of the family. I've been working since she was an infant, so I do admit my absence & the grands' prominent presence in place share blame with her being an incredibly picky eater. If it isn't chicken, potatoes, toast, yogurt, or any basic fruit (generally speaking), it's a no. When I try to introduce new foods, it's drama: eating all but the offending food, arguing, and tears mainly. Now I don't stray too far with new foods, so it's been mainly carrots, corn, and spinach (Spinach is cool with her). I'm also not lpud or aggressive about it. To be honest, even one bite is a victory some nights. This particular night, however, was ROUGH.A couple nights ago, I made a simple dinner of grilled chicken, roasted potatoes & zucchini. A pretty harmless addition, right? NOPE. After 20 minutes of the usual trying to get out of it, she tried a bite with some chicken resulting in dry-heaving & near-hyperventilating for 5 minutes until regurgitating the forkful onto the plate. Not what food she had eaten , but this one bite. I got her calmed down, cleaned up, and dinner was over.I'm really at a loss over this & don't know the next step to take aside from trying again in a week or so. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3dTAUA1
