My son is doing this as well. I think their independence is becoming stronger. My son loved certain foods now he fights me to eat and even gives me the look of “whatcha gonna do about it mom?” So I think he wants to see what I’m going to do or how to react.
I am having the same issue too! My son was already a horribly picky eater but now, he won’t eat anything but junk food and throws these nasty screaming tantrums. I am at a loss for what to do. Plus he has been sick for the last 3 weeks and that is just compounding everything
Literally going thru the same thing right now!
