I am not saying that he is an excellent eater but it was never the way it is right now. I just don’t know what to cook for him anymore. I try to make different things but he just refuses them most of the time and wants to eat the same thing over and over again. Lately he has been refusing meat. It scares me cause if I let it go now it will become a habit and develop into something else and eventually we will run out of choice.Does anyone else out there experience this with a child that is 6 or older? I feel it easier dealing with my 3 years old.

After doing some research online I found this post from babycenter.com It helps me understand that I am not the only one with this problem As far as I understand it is a very common problem with preschoolers. I hope my son grows out of it by the time kindergarten is over but for now it gives some good ideas on how to substitute meat so that your child will get enough protein in the diet. I don’t want  to completely remove all meat from his diet I feel he will lose interest in it for good if I stop offering it to him. I feel good knowing that other things can provide the nutrients that he needs to grow strong and healthy.
