Exactly, it gets more and more difficult the older you are and the more established the habit is, so helping your children overcome these issues early is very important and sets them up for a healthy lifestyle in adulthood. I have a friend in his 40s who is having strokes and is vehemently unwilling to eat a single vegetable. His food adversions are much worse than any child's.

I'm not saying it's easy, because it isn't. But it's very much possible.

I'm also not saying all food aversions need to be worked through, however, allowing your children to have a severely limited diet doesn't set them up for long-term success.
