So many times I've had him help me make biscuits. He likes to roll out the dough & use the cutters & decorate them, will admire the finished product but will refuse to eat them.
It gets more interesting!
Does he give any reasons for not eating/ consuming the food that he is 'making'? Has he ever tried anything that you and him 'make together'?
Looking at it in a different way, and not wishing to impose.. perhaps a 'work-reward' plan might be possible with him then? Granted he is only 5ish.. but if you got him 'cooking' or assisting in the making of foods (using the various gadgets etc) that can then be sold as 'home-made' and he gets the 'profit/reward' to then 'purchase' foods that might interest him? An idea.. albeit weak, but nonetheless an idea.
