Is your child a Fusspot? I am not talking a just being foodie fusspot here but a fusspot in general? A Fusspot will expert many signs from not liking the foot on their plate to the fact they don't WANT to wear pink today. Working in a school you get fussiness all the time " Miss so and so won't play with me " "Me Well did you ask them?' The child "No but they won't play with me.."
The problem with a fussy child is that is can lead onto other behaviours if not managed correctly. I myself am battling a fusspot eater and a fusspot shopper ...
When it comes to a fusspot in the classroom I heard about a clever idea that seemed to work for teacher that I know. You simply draw a pot on a whiteboard and when the situation arises you put the fussy child's name in it. The thinking behind this it will stop other behaviours escalating and thus produce a happy and harmonious classroom.
Of course simple ideas like this can be transposed to the home... Only wish I had thought of it years ago then perhaps I would have a boy who would be happy to shopped till he dropped?
