Patient: yeah <1:42:53 PM> Lily Chen - Patient: mm-hmm <1:42:58 PM> Alina - Doctor: um <1:42:59 PM> Lily Chen - Patient: well I've tried um like I said trying to find different healthy things that he's eaten so I'll like try a different vegetable each week and that's how I found out about the spinach um so like it's worked sometimes like he'll occasionally try something and <1:42:59 PM> Alina - Doctor: have you what have you tried in the past regarding like meal times or snacks that have or haven't worked for you <1:43:24 PM> Alina - Doctor: the power <1:43:30 PM> Lily Chen - Patient: room and he'll like it but sometimes he just won't try it at all like having meals together I've tried like having him see his like <1:43:39 PM> Lily Chen -

Doctor: right well it sounds like you're being very mindful of you know your meal times and I think it's really awesome that you're <1:44:22 PM> Alina - Doctor: reducing like a new fruit or vegetable every week I think that's you know a good way to introduce you know something new to him that he may or may not like without maybe overwhelming him by you know giving him a ton of different <1:44:37 PM> Alina - Doctor: two options <1:44:39 PM> Alina - Doctor: but you said it seems like most of the time <1:44:41 PM> Lily Chen - Patient: yeah not not much <1:44:43 PM> Alina - Doctor: things aren't really helping <1:44:45 PM> Alina - Doctor: okay um what other changes have you thought about making <1:44:49 PM> Lily Chen - Patient: mmm well I think one thing that I think the most likely to be successful is <1:44:49 PM> Lily Chen - Patient: Maybe <1:44:53 PM> Alina - Doctor: regarding food in your house <1:45:05 PM> Lily Chen - Patient: tracing his snacks he recently started to do soda which I know isn't that good for him but you know the other kids drink it at school and then he wants it to because it's <1:45:16 PM> Lily Chen -
