I think this is a problem with young children now days. You just need to try to get her to try new things. I have a cousin who is 9 years old and she is VERY picky. She had turkey for the first time when she was 7! Her mother basically ended up telling her that she had to try new things. She got upset at first but then she was happy when she found new things that she liked. So maybe you should try this and see what happens. Good luck!

This has never been a huge problem with my kids. . .but there are times when they don't want to eat healthy stuff. An example being if they don't want to eat their vegetables at supper time but want a dinner roll, in order for them to get the roll they have to eat all the vegetables on their plate. Or if we have a special dessert planned, if they don't eat a nice helping of vegetables (regardless of what else they ate) they don't get the special dessert. I also try to plan one "fun" dinner per week of something I know they really like (pizza, hamburgers & hot dogs etc.).
