Re: Picky eater, selective pooper and peepee?

He’s learned that if there’s something in his dish that he doesn’t like, if he doesn’t eat it mummy will change it.
Jake used to do this and it wasn’t until I learned that I was reinforcing this behavior that I knew how to “correct” it with the help of everyone on here.

Put his food down, walk away, come back in 10 minutes. If it’s not touched pick it up without a fuss or a word. Next meal time put the food back down and walk away again. If it’s not touched again pick it back up.
If you keep doing this he’ll learn that if he’s hungry, that’s what he’s eating because he isn’t getting anything else.

Don’t keep worrying that he’ll starve, he really won’t! We promise you that and it wont be helping that he’s picking up on your tension and worrying when it comes to meal times which will make him think “whys mummy worrying?” etc..
