Bribery is good. <BR/><BR/>all this talk about food ...

Doesn't matter if we have had it a dozen times before and she liked it then, she hates it today. <BR/>I have a one bite rule. You must at least eat one bite before you decide you hate something. This usually is followed by youngest saying "oh, yeah, I do like this". But if it's not I have to announce, this is not a one woman short order kitchen. Eat it or wear it.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10648325812333011430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105907776165281245.post-22898684157438772172009-03-31T07:36:00.000-05:002009-03-31T07:36:00.000-05:00Wow!

There are a few foods that he will not eat though and prior to moving to Michigan we did the three bites with fairly good success now, however, the kid spends a lot of time with his great-grandparents who are more than willing to cater to his desires which makes the three bites at our house a torture fest. I sometimes feel like he's going to tell his great-grandma how utterly cruel I am to make him eat a bite of squash...Sidhehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997017630623707478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105907776165281245.post-51291169849176037042009-03-31T00:20:00.000-05:002009-03-31T00:20:00.000-05:00Well, you should come to my house.

My child can chew one bit of food for a good 5-20 minutes. I have no idea how she does it, but she does it.<BR/><BR/>Recently she has started telling us she's full at dinner time because she wants to play. Tonight I said that if she is going to try this little ploy every night (this was the fourth night in a row) that after dinner we'll just go to bed and skip playing. She ate most of her dinner tonight.

It is a pleasure. My kids would have been two of the ones rejecting veggie pizza.<BR/><BR/>And the "I can't eat another bite" and then later, "I'm hungry" just before they go to bed.

There is almost nothing they won't eat. <BR/>But, through some training, they have learned that if they don't eat at night, there won't be anything else. Speak, when I'm done eating, I give them about ten minutes to eat whatever they feel like eating. If they decide not to, they can take their plates to the sink. There will be no other dinner available. They can have an apple or a banana, but that's it. <BR/>It works... :)Utehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16652604425012130772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105907776165281245.post-55548257287230845062009-03-30T07:47:00.000-05:002009-03-30T07:47:00.000-05:00My husband has food issues.

I have spent nearly 9 years helping Aaron make healthy choices. It's an awful illness to live with (especially for the spouse HA). Eating is learned by example and you are doing a great thing for your girls, even if they torture you in the process. Actually, having a kid to worry about has been a big help for us. Aaron is always careful to be positive about food in his daughter's presence.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07378421551422918709noreply@blogger.com
