So, I have been having this fight with Zach for several years. In my mind I thought it was just a phase that would pass. But NOPE, he has now turned 8 and still won't touch fruits or veggies. And when he does touch them he gags like he will throw up. I am up in arms about what I have to do to get him to eat. People suggest I hide it, but in WHAT? The kid won't eat anything but hot dogs, corn dogs, chicken nuggets, and fries. SO, I have resorted to yelling which I know isn't exactly ideal to get someone to do what you want. But he refuses. I give him a grape he gags, they are the BEST grapes I have had thus far. He use to LOVE veggies and fruits when he was a baby, but now he won't touch the stuff. I worry he may be lacking things his body needs. So What does a momma do? I am terrified I am setting him up for a failure in the future. So what do you do to get your kids to eat? He refuses pasta sauce. He eats pb & j, that's a start but not ideal. HELP a momma out!
