1. Not so in my family of four children.
 
The pickiest eater - would not eat vegetables or eggs- was/is the "all-boy" type, interested in sports, and a good student.

To this day as a middle-aged adult he still eats few veggies and no eggs, but seems to get along in society fairly well.

I will admit that he has perfectionist tendencies, especially re his own performance. He has also suffered some depression - not clinical- in the past.

His father also ate no eggs, though nothing was made of it in the household.

Father was also something of a perfectionist, and suffered secondary depression in his last illness - more a function of an organic brain disease than of emotional problems.

2. The problem of "sensitivity" seems to also be embedded in anxiety. ADD, etc.
 
Texture taste etc.

There is a cure for the picky eater. Have NJCher whip up some of her yummy vomit stew.

The daughter hates her, so now Big Mo blames the kid's cracked skull.

But no one can stand Big Mo, and she didn't bust their skulls.
