As a psychologist and specialist in assisting parents with picky eating, I have discovered the secrets that empower picky eater to rule your home.
Yes, I know. You don’t like being a servant, but you are dedicated to it. It’s just part of creating a real superstar picky eater!
Oh… and the negativity. The whining. The constant unhappiness with your hard work. It’s all part of what you must endure to elevate your kid to the elite status of pickiness.
If you think you are up for the challange, then proceed with caution. In order to compete with the best of the finicky eaters, then you must make these decisions to avoid getting on a healthy track!
Critical picky eating Lesson One: Beg, plead, negotiate over food…and then give in.
That’s right. As soon as you notice some unhappiness with what you prepared, immediately begin to talk about how important it is to eat well, how it’s better for them and how you will be sad if they don’t eat.
Remember the phrase, “Come on honey just try a few bites.” This is critical to your success at creating a first class picky eater.
Your child must learn that you will work harder at getting them to eat…than they do. If you accomplish this, you can always negotiate formore time, and ultimately…you can give in. They will then rule the meal time forever, and you get to practice cooking meal after meal for nothing!
But remember, success is never easy. So, this is just the price you pay to have a superstar picky eater in your home!
Critical picky eating Lesson Two: Understand that you kids know best what food is good for them.

This is critical in the creation of a serious picky eater. When you really believe that your kid is better at choosing picky eating than you are…you are almost home!
You can abandon every ounce of common sense, and every bit of research…and sleep well pretending that fast food is really good for them, that mass market advertisers really do have the best in mind for your family, and that your primary job is to shop for the only the foods your picky eater approves of. Should you do otherwise, then you could lose your advantage…and your picky eater may be forced to develop picky eating habits.
Just remember: If you start to take the dangerously healthy position that you may know more than they do about what is healthy for them to eat, then they may begin to respect your wisdom and actually follow your lead.
Critical picky eating Lesson Three: Never Let You Kids Go Hungry!

When you put picky eating on the table, and let your children know that this is what’s for dinner, they may not agree with it. In fact, they may stamp their feet and say they’re not going to eat. That’s alright!
Because to build that picky eater…you must show them that you will throw away that picky eating and give them anything they want to eat…just so they NEVER go hungry.
It becomes critical for kids to learn that whining, complaining and refusing to eat that good food will be rewarded with the fast food they prefer. Now that’s the real magic formula: Reward their whining, complaining and demanding behavior with the junk food. If you can do that…you are home free.
I am confident that you can create a picky eater that will survive through childhood, and continue to grow up on unhealthy, fattening foods that ultimately undermine the quality of life. But again, that’s the price you pay for being a superstar.
In case this article sounds familiar, and you find the thought of the superstar picky eater repulsive, you might want to consider these secrets as your wake up call to changing a few habits.
