IMO - as a mother with two grown men, I would suggest that you not worry to much about what your daughter isn't eating with each meal, but rather that she is eating a balanced meal at the end of each day (and) if your daughter will only eat one or two fruits & vegetables then feed them to her and don't give the matter another thought.

This is what I had to do with my third child who was a picky eater and who still to this days will only eat pickles & raw carrots as his vegetables and he has an Genius IQ. I always tell new parents to not worry so much as long as their child is healthy and growing (body & mind).

Its All Good -
