English term or phrase: food jags
Many preeschool children have experienced food jags and may, for a time, eat only a few self-selected foods. When a parent prods, the child is less likely to try new foods. Finicky food habits are often temporary and will disappear if not reinforced by emotions and unnecessary rules. Food should not become the object of bribes or punishments. If a food is rejected, do not make an issue of the situation as this may make your child more determine to refuse the food being offered.

otra alternativa a la que dio Anita

jag es sinónimo de binge, definido a su vez como "an unrestrained and often excessive indulgence" por Merriam Webster; por lo tanto, se refiere a la preferencia marcada por un alimento y no al rechazo a otros (aunque suelen ir de la mano)
