"Freaky Eaters", Is any one else obsessed with this show?!
Question: I am totally obsessed with the show "Freaky Eaters". It's really interesting how people use there relationship with food as a form of rebellion as a child and that parents let it go on so long. I also find in some cases it is a form of control in there lives. Some cases they actually had real physical problems as a child such as cleft palate and things like, which is totally understandable that they would have an issue with food.

I am not obsessed with it, but interested by it! Yes I often watch it.
I have raised two kids, one who was an awkward mare when it came to food and so the psychological aspect of this grasps my attention!
What does stun me is that so many parents allow their kids to control THEM and reverse the parenting process in effect and this is the result!
I personally found the "If it" rule worked in our house,
If you like it you'll eat it and if you don't, you won't... end of.
I always put at least two foods on the plate I knew they liked and one they either had not tried or claimed not to like. EG: Chicken, Roast potatoes with peas and carrots.
Both my kids would not eat vegetables at first and now one eats both carrots and peas and the other eats carrots, but really doesn't like peas... and at 22, I believe her now!
If they refused to eat, they were offered no alternatives, but always offered milk and cookies (2) for supper before bed (we always ate an evening meal cooked) and then they had to wait until breakfast.
Both my two will eat most anything now and never shun new foods. They are 16 and 22
