How To Handle a Picky Eater

[PlastikHaifisch]

Is there a video on how to COPE with BEING a picky eater? That would be so useful - I'm 13 and extremely picky. I think that adults believe we're doing it on purpose, when actually I absolutely HATE being a picky eater. I hate having to force down vegetables every night. :(

[EclipseHedgehog]

im 20 and still a picky eater. i force myslef sometimes to eat other foods and starting today im going to eat more fruits and vegetables. but whenever i smell my food first like tomato sauce for example, i get this lump in my throat that makes me want to hurl. thats primarily the reason why im picky in the first place, I hate that feeling. but they always taste different from what they smell. even when i plug my nose and force it down my throat the lump is still there.

[peaceluvr26]

Me: Uh Dad...Mom is staring at me with binoculars again..

Dad: Just eat your dinner...

Me: -3- Thankss...

[Iloverrb]

omg i gotta tell my mom to stop giving me cooked carrots..nasty *twitch*...but she never listens anyways...TTiTT

[koshatnik]

Why do children hate broccoli so much? I loved broccoli ever since I was little, and I'm 13 right now and I still love it. But you can still call me a picky eater - I won't eat fast food no matter what, I'm vegan, and I won't eat unhealthy food no matter what.

[mycrazycatXD]

[dollybaby144]

[IOUthelove]

Tempura is sooo good though! I cute my little sisters food up into shapes with a knife and cookie cutters; she eats it cuz it's pretty.

[xmisscouture]

[RAWoffical]

Step 1. find out what tv show or superhero your kid likes

Step 2. if you give them broccoli and he/she likes spiderman just say

Eat it its spiderman broccoli then they suddenly likes it it works for me:)

[Rosesful2]

[shaylove565]

I love most vegetables. My parent's weren't like "Oh, okay, well if you don't like it then don't eat it." My parents were like "Have you even tried it? Try it, and if you don't like it, then try it again because this is what we're eating."

[599129001tim]

im picky but i love broccoli in sauce especially

[heartzempire]

Broccoli probably doesn't like her then. :I Broccoli is fucking awesome

[ifeelfantasticfan55]

BROCCOLI IS AWESOME!

[MrButterfingaz]

how the hell does she not like broccoli???

[Beccawolf16]

As a pickey eater myself, I have to admit these are very good tips to helping a child try new foods. Unfortunatly, Howcast didn't exist when I was younger, so mom never got these tips on how to handle me :D . If I may add a few things to this how-to, I would also advise to not force your child into eating a new food by telling them to clear their plate or making them sit there until it's finished. Try new foods my mixing things they like with things they've never tried.

[demonassassin10]

1:02 that a big orange!

[YumGumLove]

omg the girl wiff the big hate was adroble!

[sonicfan4271]

Well I'm not that young so this didn't really help

[gothbabii188]

[MRPIMP62]

wash it down with hard drink

[nikitagreen300]

1. say they eathier eat it or they dont eat at all problem solved.

[Twighlight21fan]

ok the take one bite of every food thing isnt good. its not like the adults buy food they dont like then take one bite of it! nope! they get food they like!

[carnage11799]

lol 1.44

[PoptropicaLover]

The girl is soo cuuuuuute(:

[TheNikkiSaurous]

The whole "at least one bite" of food we didn't like rule made me and my nephew HATE the food even more. We didn't want to eat any of our dinner because my mom would make us sit there and we got bored and angry. :(

[forastfire202]

you guys made this video now the kids shall watch this

[hwk336]

How To Handle A Pricky Eater;

you will need:

a spoon/fork

hand

step 1: take the food he/she/it/ won't eat and shove it down their throat.

step 2: warn your child it will happen again if he/she/it wont eat it.

did you know:children who are forced to eat foods will eat the food eventually in later life.

[nutchapabha]

i love veggies

[Candace81100]

Haha I need to show this to my parents I am a very picky eater I only eat something when I'm in the mood for it XD

[Moisesito366]

@aspie1966 you took my words right out of my mouth that's how it is at home

[melissalovesmusique]

i need a teen version.

[aspie1966]

researchers show, studies show....blah blah blah. My mom wouldn't have gone through all this trouble with me. Mom makes food, kid doesn't want to eat it, kid goes hungry.

[cwjop]

fuck tomatoes

[huerta12ify]

If that lady doesnt like the vegtable why does she make her child eat it?

1:40-1:47

[halofreak908]

you will need

a belt....

[xXjesperoXx]

"you will need..."

yeah...i dont know what half of those next words mean...

[nerdwithoutglasses]

press 4 repeatedly. lol thats dirty

[xtoxicthrasherx]

Press 9 repeatedly...My god Howcast your a perv!

[ModernAirsoft1]

eats spinach *barfs* good honey right!?!?

[musican67557]

How to handle a picky eater-

step 1-Tell them if they eat new foods,you'll buy them a toy or give them money

[skiracer110]

@musican67557 Money works better ha ha

[RustyEraser]

Step 6, totally false! I remember my parents trying that when I was a kid.

[JMB129]

I think everyone is entitled to not like certain things, for me it's Tiramisu cake. However when the list of things you like is literally 3 items, and the list of dislikes is in the thousands, you are acting like a baby. Make friends with insulin, you're going to need it as a picky eater, or at least you're going to have some kind of disease early in life, unless you're one of the lucky few who have the superhuman ability to stay healthy through anything.

[catchlightdame]

I thought reading peoples comments would be helpful what a joke, not one sensible suggestion in the bunch.

[twerd4ever10]

Umm what if they r ur friend and they come over after school until ten... When they get to ur house they eat chips & pop... But at dinner "they aren't hungry" then ur scary dad gets pissed.. Umm help!

[TheSweetandsour21]

what if they are annoying 12 year old picky eater

[poboyztrack1]

How To Handle a Picky Eater

step1.If they refuse to eat SHOVE IT DOWN THERE TROGHT

[aspie1966]

"food preference analysis"? really?

[bowserjrgirl]

@multigecko13 wrong. My little brother is a vary picky eater, so our doctor said that peanut butter and crackers are the best thing for a picky eater. (plus starving the kid is not only child abuse, but then at 3 am you will have to listen to "Mommy/Daddy, I'm HUNGRY!!!!!!")

[JMB129]

@bowserjrgirl There's no such thing as starving the kid unless you literally don't let them eat anything. If they refuse to eat what's there, they are starving themselves.

[multigecko13]

just let the kid starve

[hiperanimallover]

at 1:45 she spit the broccoli in the paper!!!

[byronlee991017]

back in the old days, being picky will result in spanking, now its worse

[CandyCat957]

I remember being told "you won't be a big girl if u don't eat it"

[escudo360]

i LOVE every vegetable except asparagus (i even like spinach and broccoli, spinach my fave veg)

[TheGameConquer]

The huge hat on the litle girl nearly killed me.

[ln91180]

I used to hate geen peppers, now I love them....I still dont like mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus and cauliflower...Oh and still hate green pea soup, but yet I will eat, regular green peas that are cooked with other vegetables in a frying pan..

[JREY209]

i like veggies i eat lettuce cucumbers broccoli carrots

[kuteasabutton56]

Step1: shove said food into Childs mouth

[catchlightdame]

@kuteasabutton56 This does not work, unless you want the child to never eat that particular food again, or throw up on you.

[gamer00341]

@kuteasabutton56 and how do you make them swallow?

[kuteasabutton56]

@gamer00341 Duct tape their mouth until they swallow.

[aerdmane]

I know some people say that it's good to say that if ur child doesn't eat, they can't leave the table, but once my dad tried that, and now I personally hate it when my dad cooks.

[altonio48]

y not point a gun and say EAT IT !!!!!!!!!!

[GameFreaksStudios]

you will need: an evil voice, optional: wooden spoons or leather belts.

step 1: if they refuse yell" EAT IT!" with your evil voice.

step 2: if they refuse again the break five of the wooden spoons over their ass, or beat them with a belt until they say i love that vegitable

step 3: if they refuse again then make them wait in the front yard til' the sun goes down

step 4: watch as they eat their food with passion thats how i learned to love potatoes and eggplant

[Giantmidget28]

She looks like Geno Malkin#71

[JMB129]

I laugh my ass off to myself when I see parents let their kids off the hook at the dinner table. My Dad wouldn't let me leave the table or even talk unless I ate what he served me. 99% of the time when I finally gave in, I ended up liking whatever it was. you can't know you don;t like something that you haven't tasted. That is impossible. Just shut the fuck up and start munching.

[catchlightdame]

@JMB129 So what happens when it was midnight and everyone is falling asleep?

[JMB129]

@catchlightdame You mean if you don't let the kid leave the dinner table? I think they would get the point by that time (by midnight). If not then I guess they would end up sleeping at the dinner table more often than in bed. It worked for me and I didn't throw a shit fit and whine all day about it, I ended up liking 80% of the stuff I thought I wouldn't like.

[catchlightdame]

@JMB129 For you, I thought you had a child! It does not work for every child or not so far!

[JumpaFoSho]

broccoli is fucking lovely!

[PandaMagicFTW]

Why not just cook some food he likes?

[TheRexjr]

4 pikky eaters hated this video

[MyBella89]

Step 1. Tell them that if they dont eat the food they cant leave the table.!!! ( IT WORKS)

[dapoculos13]

@MyBella89 not for me,my dad once tried to make me eat mashed potatoes,i refused,he slapped me,pushed me on the ground,still refused,got bruises on the ass,refused,it went on for WEEKS,and im STILL like it,although im back with my mom now <3<3<3 she doesnt make me,she lets me get used to it over TIME

[catchlightdame]

@MyBella89 Not with my kids 5 hours is my kids record!

[Megamanrocks3]

its opposite with the carrot thing for me

[SuperHeywhatsup7]

@Megamanrocks3 Same I gobble them up cooked!

[Megamanrocks3]

@SuperHeywhatsup7 cool!

[KristianneFajardo]

Dedicated to my cousin also

[KristianneFajardo]

dedicated to my sister

[inkkang]

im 13 and i like vegetables and some fruit, am i crazy?

[KristianneFajardo]

@inkkang I love carrots and corn and alot of fruits-im 12. Nothing wrong at all.

[Lvieru96]

@inkkang

Well what do you think?

Go on eat as much shit as you can like pizzas and burgers and kill yourself.

That probably answered your question

[EpicSauce101]

my mom always complained about me eating too much and being a slob... oh how i envy my picky sister :D

[mrmjordan]

I bet her mother was a picky eater too. As we all.

[MrKevin001111]

you can tell that kid is gonna grow up to be a HUUUUUGE bitch.

[JMB129]

@MrKevin001111 LMFAO!

[Queenofawesome25]

I was never a picky eater this is nonsense.

[SpinDashpro]

I think that TV has influenced kids to hate broccoli... I love broccoli, personally, but have you seen all those shows where people say broccoli is disgusting? Just saying.

[dynamiteproduction12]

@SpinDashpro same with brussel sprouts it think theyr both delicious

[purplerose695]

@dynamiteproduction12 ikr i love brussel sprouts and broccoil THEY R SO YUMMY :D

[greenorange75]

@SpinDashpro I also love broccoli. Steam it and add butter and it's probably the best thing I've eaten.

[heavenlou]

@SpinDashpro i totally agree. i was babysitting a girl who HATED veggies, and she told me the reason why she didnt like them was that she thought they were "Lame." but i personally love them.

[YumGumLove]

@SpinDashpro i love broccoli too its one of my fav veggies!

[VeinsFullOfPoison]

@SpinDashproMe too! I love fruits and vegies! xP lol

[TeaStrawberry]

I eat all my veggiaes and I work out and same with my little sis but i need to get my parents to get of there lazy butts and get out of the house!

[pretierinpink]

I'm 11.

I h8 seafood, mayonaisse and mustard, but I'm fat!!

[RomeoSOF2]

@pretierinpink Well you better stop eating that damn junk food... seafood doesn't fatten you, it only makes you healthier/smarter.

[carsontroeh]

@RomeoSOF2 unless you constantly pig out on it, but then again, if you constantly pig out on anything itll get you fat.

[kialop]

1:45 XD she spits out the food after her child looks away XD xD xD good call howcast XD *falls on floor laughing*

[dissmaster1]

O yes she spits out the broccoli lol

[link9000000]

Step 1. Say the boogyman will eat them in their sleep unless they shut the fuck up and shove the food down their throat.

[scribblesandsketches]

I've gotten picky children to eat food simply by exploiting their fears.

[12strawberrylover]

I remember when

I was little my mom said "eat this or you get diabetes"now im skinner then a pole

[michael79331]

stuff the shit it there mouth

[Katantunoro]

I need an adult version.

[duckygonecrazy]

wow i was forced to eat something disgusting today....u cant really imagine what it was its like an exotic thing but it smelled AND tasted like a hospital. And actually I like veggies just not the ones my parents serve...

[12strawberrylover]

tie them up on a pole and say "if you dont eat this im going to fucking leave you here"

if the say no leave them there with a sign : dont pick up this child shes fucking picky

[TuyetNhiViet]

my mom just threatens and yells at me and if i still don't eat it she just get a wooden stick and hits me everywhere and then after that she said "next time i'll hit you until you die!!!"

[TheNextAvrilLavigne]

why not just trick them?

[Lollol84]

I always been a picky eater and i don't know how to cure it :( I always think new things taste like shit and the amazing thing is.. I never had eaten any vegies for years.. and im 19 now! HELP :(

[supersmashflash2fan]

@Lollol84 just eat dam new things and stop being a baby lol
