my daughter loves avocado and would eat only that if I let her so in order to get her to eat other things I would save the avocado skin and use it as a bowl to make her think she was getting avocado. worked everytime
Little cannibal children who enjoy eating faces, also seem to like it when their food talks to them. “Please eat me!! I want to join the rest of my family, I will be so lonely without the others!”
HA H A HA!!! Both of those are great!! Thanks @sam and @beth!!
For lunches around here I will bring out the food in courses to get them to eat more of some of the stuff I need them to eat like the protein and the veggies and then bring out the carbs after that. They are happy to get started and usually do well. They are 4 and 2 though so not sure how much longer that works
@krellpw chimes in on twitter with these handy tips:
- Tell them they CAN’T have it.
- Serve it to their older sibling.
dude, this is great.
my mom used to put a piece of kix cereal on top of every spoonful of food and feed it to me when i was really little. it worked. i ate everything with kix. it was really tedious.
We ask my 4 year old “are you going to eat that? If not, can I have it” and usually that does the trick.
My super uncreative, but nonetheless effective, technique with my baby girl is to make different vehicle sounds as the spoon approaches her mouth. She currently favors the choo-choo train, but refuses to open her mouth until she gets a whistle. There’s a whole latta “whoo-whoo”-ing around my house @ dinner time!
I love it! These are great!
Pumpkin-faces will begin shortly. Wish me luck!
