How long it takes to kids start to eat 'everything"?
Well not everything, but most of the food. I have a 10 years old sister, and she still doesn't like anything, she only eats rice, meat and potatoes, that's it. Sometime chicken and tomatoes. But nothing else.
Im kind of worry about her, what can I and my parents do to make her eat more food?

You can't
Girls are a bit silly, my sister would only eat certain foods on certain days of the week.
Expect her to have a 'vegetarian phase' next.
When they get to the phase where they have to buy their own food or they experience running out of food, will they be able to enjoy "everything"
Depends on the kid. I was picky until I was 20.
It might be anxiety or sensory issues. Certain textures and smells used to make me instantly gag.
Theres nothing wrong with being a picky eater.
stop trying to force them. make food that they like and include some new dishes. they'll be able to try something new without the pressure of needing to eat it or going hungry. make sure you eat and enjoy the new food with them. try to find new food that they are interested in trying.

I absolutely hated onions (especially raw), mushroom, tomatoes and meat (crazy vegan aunt filled my head with bad shit about meat from age 4-8 until my mom caught her doing it, still gag when eating sometimes) until I started regularly cooking for myself. I'm so thankful that my mom and grandmother brought me into the kitchen every time food was made to help with prepping. By 8, I was peeling and chopping like a pro. At about 10, they let me cook things under supervision. Then when I proved that I was adequate at safety, they let me go wild and make dinner for everyone when I got home from school. When you actually see the work that goes into making the food, you appreciate it more and will be more willing to try new things made in different ways. I'm still a little weird about mushrooms and meat, but I do eat them on occasion.

Never been very picky about food but only about at 18 have I stopped thinking 'I like A better than B' and started thinking about their quality even if I like A better than B a good quality B is better than A

This is also my story, though still can't stand the texture of red meat.

20 year old here. I generally dislike chicken, turkey, veggies, spicy things, most seafood (with the exceptions of mussels and calamari), anything that tastes like vinegar, rice, nuts, pb&j, beans, soda, and coffee. There's probably more I can't think of right now too. Anyways, she might not change her taste very much.

Same for me except with birds.
I was picky until I started cooking for myself. I used to eat nothing but processed meat and readymeals until I was 19, then I started learning to cook and developed a taste for real food.
>diagnosed autism but not picky
At least not everything is shit. I'm sorry OP, maybe try preparing them another way?

Children literally have denser taste buds covering their tongues which make even slightly objectionable flavors magnified.

It will take another 3-5 years OP for your sister's palette to become more amicable and tolerant.
