“My son with ADHD is a very picky eater, refusing to eat vegetables or most sides at dinner. It’s a fight every day. He will eat burgers, fries, and other things not really good for him.' What to do? Here are some ideas.
He advised me to look at what my son ate over the course of a week and not to focus on each meal or even each day. If the week overall had a decent amount of protein and dairy-rich foods, it was considered a win.
If my son liked a certain kind of food , I tried to serve a variation of it at almost every meal. There’s no rule saying you can’t eat meatballs or hamburger sliders forGet This Free Guide to Delicious EatingDon’t be afraid to hide the “good stuff.” In other words, if I was making hamburgers or meatballs, I would grind up spinach or carrots and add it to the meat mixture, the veggies were so fine he never knew he was actually eating them.
You can add practically anything to smoothies, shakes, chopped meat, pizza sauce, even brownies, and cakes. My all-time favorite is chocolate pudding made with avocados. Yes! We actually have a whole section on our Order Out Of Chaos website called Foods For Thoughts that will give you tons of ideas like these.
I know that not everyone agrees with the ‘hide it’ strategy. Just to be clear, I’m not saying you shouldn’t tell him what is in the smoothie if your son asks. But sometimes we eat with our eyes. So if your son doesn’t like what spinach looks like, but is fine with it in his smoothie, then you have a fighting chance!If your son refuses a certain food one time, make sure to bring it back out again a few days later.
Remember, you’re only responsible for providing the meals. It’s your child’s responsibility to decide what he eats.
