Parent to a child with fussy eating habits? Help may be on the way

She has offered rewards. She has tried, “If I take a bite, will you take a bite?” She once even got the family dog involved, asking Emerson, if the dog ate some, would she? She served Emerson pureed meals on the advice of a dietitian. Nothing has worked.
Mealtime is still a battle of wills that Ms. Scholman lost so many times that she recently gave up.
