I do not agree with this and would never go > this far but would like some other ideas. I would never force a kid to eat what's on their plate or go hungry. I was a supertaster as a child, still am to some extent, and I wasn't being naughty or spoiled or whatever. I just couldn't stand the texture of some foods, and that's all there was to it. I would probably have gone to bed hungry many, many nights! Luckily my mother never forced me, either. I outgrew most of it and eat a very good, balanced diet. As my superpicky oldest child grows older, he will try new things now and then, and I expect he will outgrow it, too. What's the big deal in slicing an extra apple or warming up an extra serving of rice? People make such a big deal of things ... and as you say, it makes mealtimes unpleasant! Be well, Hadass.
