Attack of the Killer Banana

What do you do when your child won't eat? Everyone thinks they know how to get a fussy eater to try new foods - and like them. "If you just do this, or cook that, or feed them this way, they'll love it," they say. But what happens when it doesn't work? What happens when no matter what you do, or what you cook, or how hard you try, your child simply will not eat? What happens when they have the biggest meltdown of their life, simply because they see (and smell) a banana? Shannon Thiry knows what happens when it doesn't work. She's lived the trauma, the angst, and the massive amounts of self-doubt and guilt of being a parent of an extremely fussy eater. And while she hasn't 'fixed' the eating, she's been able to help herself get through, and provide help to others along the way. If you're struggling with a very fussy eater, or you know someone who is, take heart. It's not you, it's not your parenting and you're not a failure. You're not alone.
