Eating Habits/SPD Diagnosis

by Deirdre
(Oakland, Ca. U.S.)

Hi, I've read so many great ideas on this website about how to get our children to eat/try different foods. My son is eight years old, and struggles with food alot. He has not eaten any fruits or vegetables since he was three years old, and there are other foods he has stopped eating also. He has a big problem with the smell of some foods, and will not go near them.

I cannot sneak anything pass him, because he can smell every little thing. I cannot sit at the table and eat with him, unless we are eating the same thing. He cries about the smell of some foods, and has even had meltdowns from the smell in other peoples homes. I am really concerned because he is not getting any fruits or vegetables. I've been giving him a multiple vitamin, but would like to find a way to get him to try fruits and vegetables. Any Suggestions?

We give our son V8 Fusion once a day, its not much but at least it is one serving of fruits and vegetables. It comes in multiple flavors and has the same consistency as any other juice.

Our 8 year old is the same way. He will eat in another room if it is too hard for him. What about smoothies? You can blend fruits and veggies in it. Our son can tell if we add things too so I started with carrots and fruit and he never noticed. Good luck, I know how hard it is.
