Moms Talk: Dealing with Picky Eaters

Moms Talk is a new feature on Avon Patch that is part of a new initiative on our Patch sites to reach out to moms and families.

Avon Patch invites you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support for mothers and their families right here in Avon.

Each week in Moms Talk, our Moms Council of experts and smart moms take your questions, give advice and share solutions.

Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians, 24-hour pharmacies and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children.

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with our second question:

Everyone has strategies for dealing with picky eaters, from the old-school "eat it or have it for breakfast" to the "no-thank-you bite." But what happens when your most adventurous eater decides one day their stomach is a no-lettuce zone or snubs old favorites? Ignore? Stand firm? What's worked for you?
