How can I get my son to stop being so picky about food?

What is the best way to get my son to try other foods? He is five and only wants to eat bread (lots of bread), crackers, dry cereal, pancakes, chicken nuggets, fries, the occasional hot dog or taco, bacon, and pepperoni. And the only veggies he likes is raw broccoli, it use to be carrots, but now he says he doesn’t like them. I don’t know what to do. Please help.

Answer #2

I have a 4 year old, soon to be 5 year old step-son. I know what you mean. He eats, noodles with only butter, salt and pepper, macaroni and cheese sometimes, hotdogs, french toast sticks, cereal and cinnimon rolls. We can get him to eat apples only if they’re red and sliced with caramel. And he just started eating corn with cottage cheese, weird, I know. I don’t know if there is a way to get them not to be picky. He doesn’t even eat any other candy he doesn’t know, it’s only M&M’s. Good luck! And if you find something that works, please, share it.
