My daughter is 12 and has been very picky from about 6 months old. Her issue is texture. Nothing mashed or mushy. She often will pick through her meal & go to bed hungry. This was a harsh discovery as her mom! Her food likes are simple and her only condiment is salt. I feel bad for her & don't know what to do for her. I see here she isn't alone. All your stories I identify with. This is hard wired with her as neither her dad or I are picky. She is anxious with less than great self confidence. As her mom, I wish I could make it better for her.

One way to make it better for her is to let her find out she is not the only one and there is no reason why she can't have a great life no matter what she learns to eat. At 12 years old she still might grow out of it. But the more time that passes the less likely it will become. Help her feel good about herself no matter what she is able to eat. Did you know there are famous people who are picky eaters. Start with Warren Buffet the billionaire.
