one more thing
As a side note, feeding your child, especially feeding your child nutritious food, is a one of the more nurturing and loving things a mother can do. So when your adoptive children reject the food you’ve made with love, it is natural and normal to feel a bit rejected.
But you have to understand that your kids and my kids were available for adoption because of their rough rocky start. Just like they don’t quite know how to be in a loving family, they neither have a normal or healthy relationship with food. You have to teach them these things and often with older kids that is like trying to bathe a bob cat.
So if you have just pain in the neck fussy eaters, you can do what lastpaige says. If you have kids with true eating issues like I did., I’d be happy to talk to you more about it. We worked closely with both our kids doctors and our social worker on this issue.
