That's a whole new blog post! :)<br /><br />@Carolyn: I've heard that involving the kiddos in preparing the food results in them being more interested in eating it too. Sophie has helped me make chocolate chip cookies... and of course she loves eating them and licking dough off the beaters. No surprise there, they're cookies! But I do need to try this method with dinner preparation.Jill Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01405963233153274900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224491393429965241.post-20182607606637658712010-06-23T18:44:50.001-06:002010-06-23T18:44:50.001-06:00Ditto to Brandy-- no great wisdom on the food issu...Ditto to Brandy-- no great wisdom on the food issue, but Sophie is precious!

When s/he gets hungry enough, they'll eat. Constant snacking dulls the appetite, exercise increases it. Be consistent and don't pander to your child...you're the mom!Yes, there will be tantrums. Discipline (consequences)n needed for those and for direct disobedience. Otherwise, don't make table time the battleground. A side hint: if the child helps grow/prepare the food, s/he is more likely to eat it.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388372093890982397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224491393429965241.post-28427899225456548372010-06-16T08:03:52.386-06:002010-06-16T08:03:52.386-06:00We have a picky eater on our hands, too.

Sometimes one bite for mommy or daddy and then one bite for Ian works, too.<br /><br />We also have to be somewhat creative... doing things like turkey bacon because it's crunchy or veggie chips... Ian loves the crunchy, salty, I suppose.<br /><br />I usually make something separate for Ian but that does get annoying. But sometimes you just want the kid to eat SOMETHING, you know?KarenDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17901472388331907986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224491393429965241.post-5558876838074120232010-06-16T07:18:01.984-06:002010-06-16T07:18:01.984-06:00Jon and I were just having this conversation last ...Jon and I were just having this conversation last night. Caleb had eaten what he liked (green beans) and picked at what he didn't (turkey). I usually save the best for last (in last night's case, tomatoes...figure that one out). So I went to get the beloved tomatoes since he wasn't eating any more of what he had. But then Jon intervened and thought we were rewarding his behavior of avoiding the turkey. We weren't really sure what to do in that kind of situation.<br /><br />In any event, that picture of Sophie is SO cute!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17733559271848774694noreply@blogger.com
