Check the Sparkrecipes.com site or Kraftfoods.com site. I think they have a baked chip you can make yourself. make sweet Potato Fries (recpies also on these sites) Sweet Potato pancakes.
For mashed potatos use half potato and half couliflower boil like normal and then drain and mash.
What about dried fruits? they are usually really sweet like candy.
I have also been buying the 100 calorie pack cookies for my husbands lunches. But at least he would have a smaller serving than the whole bag. I really like the Yogo's. yogurt covered little fruit bites. about 90 calories per pouch, and 100% vitamin C. Not much other good stuff, but may be better than chips.

My kids used to and still do like 'interactive' food.
Carrot and Cucumber sticks with a yoghurt dip.
There favourite was Harry Hedgehog. Peas for grass, creamed potato for the head and body and carrot sticks for the spikes. homemade mini pizza faces were always all gone too.
One tip is to give them loads of attention while they are eating.

| Yes if the child isn't eating what you're eating, have a standard meal like cereal or a sandwich that is easy to prepare. If the child is old enough, you can have him help make his dinner. That way, the burden isn't totally on you to get dinner ready.

| Seriously, I wouldn't worry too much about your son missing a meal or two, children generally eat when they get hungry. kids will never learn to like new foods if they never try them. Have him take what we call in my house "the no thank you serving"(a small serving to try new things that you a arn't crazy about),and if he doesn't care for what you are having give him a PB&J and some fruit. There really is no sence in making two full meals!

Hi, I used to get so anxious about what my children eat, I know how you feel. I found it reassuring to know how many todlers were picky eaters, it seems more unusual for them not to be. My Health Visitor told me that if they eat in a day what you could consider a meal, they were getting enough. I think with todlers little and often is definitely the way to go.

| I am a single mother, and my 2 year old son is a very picky eater. I hate to fix two seperate meals, but I am trying to lose weight and he is very slim, and he needs all the fat he can get! Anyone else having similar problems or have a solution?
