Is this an autism/sensory issues thing, or just an American thing? I'm assuming most cultures don't bother cutting off bread crusts.
- maccard 5y agoNot OP but I would imagibe its just an example of a nornal tantrum of a young child.
- watwut 5y agoSmall kids sometimes have random temporary preferences they make big deal of. Pretty often uncoprehensible.
- Brybry 5y agoSometimes it's also because we change as adults and kids lack the experience to properly communicate why they're upset. I remember I had battles with my parents over certain foods that legitimately tasted awful to me as a kid and made me gag (and then later as an adult some of those foods taste fine). For some kids it's probably the normal tantrum/boundary testing but I would not be surprised if for some kids they have a significantly different eating experience with even something simple like bread crust. Even for adults, consider that cilantro/coriander tastes like soap for some people. And that's just one easy small example where we're pretty sure we know what gene causes it.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 5y agoSome picky eaters don't like bread crusts. I swore I would never be the guy who cuts them off, but let's just say that no plan survives the enemy.
- gnicholas 5y agoThis is unfortunately a ‘contagious’ preference. My kid never complained about bread crust or vegetables until she started school, where she was exposed to other kids with picky preferences.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 5y agoFortunately, it is mostly temporary. I hated crusts as a child but now adore them.
