Whether I’m working with a selective eater who eats only a limited number of foods or the more garden-variety picky eater who just has strong opinions about what she will and will not eat, I teach kids how to pack their own school lunch early in feeding treatment. Buying a “hot lunch” at school is typically a more advanced goal for my clients. Most kids hesitant to try new foods find it challenging to process the wide variety of hot lunches available—we’ll tackle that goal later.
