Problem Eaters...A parent's struggle

In an attempt to bring some real life stories to this blog I wanted to share a few blog posts from both the mother and father of child who have had an ongoing mealtime struggle with their son. This family's story is so very similar to many children I have seen before who do not fit the mold of "They will eat when they are hungry"...would rather go without eating than try something in different packaging or something unfamiliar to them. I feel it is important to hear these families, put yourself in the shoes of this child, and meet them where they are....forcing, bribing, threats simply do not work! Please take some time to read the following posts! http://marblesfromheaven.blogspot.com/2009/03/not-just-picky.html and http://johnmarblecrna.com/2008/08/08/my-boys/

Thank you Marble family for sharing your story and showing others that they are not alone. I pray that you find the right treatment program for your son and continue in your efforts!
