Didn't do anything fancy, just did what my parents did and put food on the table which eeate and were grateful for. Doing the same thing now with the grandchildren. Worst mistake you can make is offer a choice, just cook and serve. |

One thing we did was set out a plate of raw veggies with dip. We would let them graze as much as they wanted. Works with my picky grands, too. |

Quoting: ~Newton's Own~ They take multivitamins, and we don't eat junk but they will not touch any vegetable at all. How do you do it? I had one child that would just not eat...so I played tricks, he calls them lies lol I would make salmon patties and call them pancakes...I'd let him put syrup on them...but eventually I got him to drink ensure...now he's 20 and skinny but very healthy...

But even raising a puppy you sometimes need to be an asshole. Kids and puppies don't get to do whatever they want to do. Eat the GOD DAMN vegetables. Quoting: nimmerfall Lol, thanks man.

Clearly if one made them gag, At least they tried them and I would substitute another kind the next time. You don’t make a fuss they don’t make a fuss. And try just a tablespoon size serving of something new, then it’s not so daunting for them to try it and finish it. Parents are to set the tone - not the kids. |

You don't leave the table until you clean your plate. Well, keep in mind there's a difference between not trying food prepared for you, being rebellious, and just being full. You can always put away the remainder of their plate in the fridge to eat later. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79135343 United Kingdom 08/11/2020 03:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Never had ANY pickiness with my brood. They ate EVERYTHING. Not sure how that happened. I never even thought about it when they were young. Just expected them to eat it all. Mealtimes were always fun, yes everyday... I've seen kids picking up on parents' anxieties and kids that manipulate their parents through food refusal. You worry, they act out. Bugger that stupid game! |

Kids can puke on demand. It's nothing to them. If they puke, they eat twice as many vegetables after they are done puking. They won't pull that shit again. Parents these days are fucking pussies and raise pussy ass children. How many kids do you have sir? I have 4. One is in the army, and one is going into the air force. Plus I have 2 younger ones. I was just looking for ideas man, not hate. A coward dies a thousand times, but the valiant need taste of death but once. Fear cuts deeper than swords. #Notmypresident. |
