My son is such a pain in the arse with food atm. We don’t have a dinner table and he eats at his table or on the sofa with us. However he is so distracted and would just rather be off and playing or watching tele etc. Awful habits but we don’t have the space for a family table.
So that’s one issue. But the other is encouraging him to actually eat or try food. Most of it he used to enjoy (spag bol etc) but now he just will refuse to even try it. I want to encourage but he hates pressure and I don’t want to instil pressure around food. It’s hard! Anyone got tips?

My son is the same , I could have written this !

Heyy, sorry I don't have any tips but I'm in a similar position with my daughter! We also don't have space for a table so my kids eat at a little table and us on the sofa, my son is terrible at sitting still at the table and is something we're trying to work on and is slowly getting better. My daughter though used to be great with food but since she turned 2 is awful literally plain pasta, chips or chicken nuggets. I always give her a safe food and then what everyone else is having to try and get her to at least try it, most of the time she says yak but I praise her massively if she tries it and hopefully she will start trying more foods 🤞🏻
But you're not alone!

My son has been the exact same for months now. He'll have a couple random days where he's scoffs his dinner and I think wow this phase must be over, then he's right back to being so fussy and disinterested again 😅

We have a table and he’s the same anyway 🫠
