Refusing fruits and fussy eater

My girl is the opposite. She doesn’t like saucy food she just wants crunchy stuff to eat or things she can pick up with her hands. I’d love her to eat bolognese or curries but she refuses them. She loves fruit but not veg so I have to hide it in stuff to try and get her to eat it

I would maybe spoon feed once a day to make sure he’s getting some food in, but let him feed himself/play at the other meals. There’s definitely as much paying going on when my girl eats as actual eating! I find the more fun she has (the more mess she makes…) the more she eats. I just put a tablecloth under her chair that I keep a clean zone, and just keep putting the food back on her tray.

For spoon feeding we use a suction bowl and we got spoons from sainsburys(not sure on brand but its and orange and green spoon and spork set). We just kept giving her the opportunity to scoop food, we gave her the spoon showed her what to do/how to hold and if she scooped we would say well done and if she used her hands we let her.

She has recently decided she only eats veg if it is mixed in to sauce/mash (not hidden just mixed).

Try not to stress, if they don't eat a lot at meal times offer an extra/early snack, keep offering variety.

My girl doesn't like cucumber but whenever we have salad I still offer it too her she doesn't eat it, she has occasionally taken a bite but I don't make a big deal out of it.
