My children were like this at one stage. It may sound harsh but i simply gave them their meal and if they didn't eat it, then they didn't get anything until the next meal- NO SNACKING IN BETWEEN!
They never starve to death- could still drink water, etc and soon started eating what they were given.

You could also try grating vegies into the foods that they DO eat. I add a grated carrot and a grated zucchini to spag bol (and occasionally some "shaved" broccoli) and they don't even notice it's in there- or they never argue with me anyway!

Do you let your child/ren pick out "new foods" when you're shopping? That's what i let my kids do and they love some vegies that i wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole! But as long as they enjoy it and eat it, thats the main thing!

Good luck!

My son is 2 1/2 and he will not try anything new. He eats maybe 3 or 4 different things but will not try pasta, rice, any sort of meat, chicken NOTHING! any advice on how to encourage him to try new things. Im at my wits end with it all. Ive done every game, made faces out of food, even got him to help me make things but when it comes to eating he just refuses. He is an extremely stubborn child and he knows this really ticks me off. Can anyone help!!??
