Comments on: Could DNA Be Why You Have A Picky Eater? http://www.achildgrows.com/2009/04/09/could-dna-be-why-you-have-a-picky-eater/ The home for Brooklyn parents Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:13:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: admin http://www.achildgrows.com/2009/04/09/could-dna-be-why-you-have-a-picky-eater/comment-page-1/#comment-11426 admin Thu, 16 Apr 2009 05:03:09 +0000 http://www.achildgrowsinbrooklyn.com/?p=3699#comment-11426 I agree. I think helping them cook is a great extension of having them grocery shop with you as Donna suggested. Teaching them about the foods is great advice too. Birch loves to cook, and, though it is a lot more work to supervise this, especially while holding my newborn, it's worth it. He wants to eat what he cooks. I recently tried the "eggs are great protein- they help give you long-term energy to play", convinced him to eat the eggs. Thanks Donna for that advice. I agree.

And teaching them where it all comes from? Sometimes I think "parenting experts" lose sight of the basic things that some Grandmothers have been going on about for years.
