I am having trouble with my 3 year old. He likes to eat mostly bread,
pasta and potatoes. He doesn't eat any vegies, or fruits.

A typical day for him would be cereal, toast or pancakes for breakfast,
For lunch Kraft dinner, grilled cheese sandwich, hot dogs, or toast.
FOr supper, maybe some potatoes, noodles, rice, and some meat... not often
but maybe a bit of chicken or pork chop ( less lately). He will drink fruit

I try to offer heathy meals, I make homemade veg. soup once in a while,
and for supper I try to make at least 3 out of 5 nights heathy. In the
summer I serve salad, or ceasar salad as often as possible, we have
carrots, peas, beans, for vegtables, and a rice or potatoe or noodle side
dish, and a serving of pork chops, chicken, or other meat. My son will
eat only the rice, potatoes or noodles and then he gets up and walks away.
In the summer my kids always want to eat outside at their little picnic
table.

I know some of you will say just give him the vegies. I've tried that ..he
just walks away and then I feel bad because he had no supper.
I really don't know what to do...ny husband suggested brocoli and spinach
milkshakes...anyone have a recipe ??? ( LOL)

any suggestions about fussy eaters and what to do would be great. I want to
get some more vegies and fruits into him. He will be going to school in the
fall and they stress healthy snacks..... so I need to be able to send
healthy stuff for snack time.

please reply to

Thanks
