Eating fruits and veggie problem?

[Guest guest]

Hello An...this is what worked for me with all of my 5 children,

especially my eldest son: didn't try to make him eat anything. put

what i wanted him to eat in front of him. i never scolded, just

talked matter of fact in a friendly smiling way and offering the

food.

If he chose not to eat it i would tell him, " That's ok, honey,..

i'll just put it up for you and you can have it later when you want

it. " it took a few times doing this, but he would get hungry and

decide he would like to have it. after they begin eating things, you

can then get them back on a schedule.

 

He didn't want his milk out of a glass. did the same thing and it

wasn't long before he was knocking on the frig asking for his " moke. "

 

they are not stupid.. They will not starve.. they will eat when they

get hungry enough. just don't make a big deal over it.

 

perhaps this will work with your sweet little one. Children like

attention and they sure can get it acting stubborn if you let them

eats 1/2 an apple a day. Nope, she won't touch any fruits, not even

bananas with the exception of apples. That she'll eat once or twice

a week. I've tries cutting up fruits and putting it in a bowl, she

won't eat it. Veggies, no...way. She will not touch veggies at

all. I have to hide her veggies under her rice and she looks for it

before eating it. Same goes for meat. Won't touch meat unless it's

in the form of a nugget. She doesn't eat sweets, maybe once a week

and a small amount. When she's hungry, she'll ask me for food,

normally noodles or rice and cereal (cheerios). I am so stress with

her eating and don't know what else to do.
