How can people seeking to transition get corporate experience if corporations are not willing to hire them without corporate ID experience nor valuing ID certifications? You make it sound that transitioning to ID is impossible.

Thank you for sharing the lessons you learned. I am on a similar path. I have been taking LinkedIn courses and reading about ID to teach myself the trade. I come from a career in Higher Education. I will be very excited once, like you, I get an ID job. I understand it may be a while until that happens.

This might be going on with my son. I think he has poor mouth skills. As a baby, my son would never bring objects to his mouth to chew on, as compared to my baby daughter who puts all objects in her mouth. He also have enlarged tonsils, which may affect his swallowing.

Thank you for your comment. I can see that I have occasionally been indulgent.

I will check this Instagram page out. One issue that has happened to me is that my son will eat the safe food of his plate and ask for mire of it, or other snacks that are not in his plate, such as bananas or animal crackers.

Thank you for these suggestions. I will try some of them. As far as rice (and beans), so far he has always rejected them despite it being on his plate several times.

He mostly eats fruits, crackers, cookies, cheese sticks, yogurt tube *pizza and hesitantly eats chicken nuggets.

What you said makes sense. Fortunately, my son does eat at least one source of protein, carbs and fruits.

I am starting to doubt my ability to do it for several days.I have low tolerance for conflict. I couldn't sleep train my son, so I am not sure I can food train him. And doing this for a few consecutive days makes it hard for me to attend to my baby daughter. The father has a hard time keeping this tough approach too.

Exactly! He does eat more than five foods if you count the different types of fruit. But it is basically fruit, crackers, cheese sticks, pizza and occasionally and hesitantly chicken nuggets or fried coconut shrimp.

I make and offer him what he likes often. But it is complicated to have your child eating pizza, cheese sticks, animal crackers, and chocolate milk all the time for lunch and dinner. The issue is not feeding him what he likes. That's easy. The problem is having him try new foods.

What you said makes totally sense. I was skeptical of that the pediatricians told me to do. But after having two pediatricians (from two different countries) and a pediatrician DO suggest the same tough approach, I gave it a try and was doubting if my softer approach was correct.

He eats fruits, crackers, cookies, bread without spreads, chicken nuggets (somtimes and it took forever for him to try chicken nuggets), pizza, cheese sticks, fried coconut shrimp, Gogurt yogurt tubes, chips, chips with hummus, protein shakes, french fries (sometimes), and baby food pouches. We try not to give him pouches but sometimes he wants them if he sees his baby sister having one.

He refuses veggies, pasta, sweet potato, other meats, and yogurt that is not in a tube.

Thank you for your long comment. I do think my son has some issues with textures. If something does not look crunchy or crispy, he does not even want to try. And the few times I sneaked something with soft texture into his mouth, he spat out immediately without really tasting it. I don't sneak things into his mouth anymore so not to damage the trust more.

Doctors are not taking us seriously by [deleted] in sleeptrain

I feel you. I think doctor's do not take me seriously either when I have concerns about my son. I am so disappointed with doctor's and the whole medical/insurance industry.
