Works like a charm at my home for my big (b) and little (a,e,s,e) kids.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474139063253178178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028645476191061842.post-2434597210571210842009-05-20T10:13:01.915-07:002009-05-20T10:13:01.915-07:00My friend left me this suggestion on my blog-get a...My friend left me this suggestion on my blog-get a muffin tin and put something different in each cup. I think the novelty of eating out of something different helps. Also he can choose what he eats out of like 6 options. Elinor is only interested in eating if she can dip. Dip anything really. Ketchup is her favorite, but she also likes barbecue sauce, ranch, butter, sour cream (a close second to ketchup). Is he more interested in eating if he helps make it? That might help. Elinor always asks for food but never eats it!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223900860112653788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028645476191061842.post-55992234657497179912009-05-18T23:11:00.000-07:002009-05-18T23:11:00.000-07:00I have no helps either...sometimes my little one g...I have no helps either...sometimes my little one gets his calories when he shares a bowl of ice cream with me even though he didn't feel like eating dinner or even something else i tried to give him right before the ice cream. My only question is, do you offer options for food to eat? Like..okay its breakfast! What cereal do you want? Or today mom will make you anything you want for breakfast..what'll it be? does that work? or is his disinterest in food...or desire to make his own decisions overpower things like that?Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369697367507464961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028645476191061842.post-17952054565264842402009-05-18T21:27:00.517-07:002009-05-18T21:27:00.517-07:00He is SO normal, Anne.

Kids go through phases and Jimmmie just so happens to be in the same one Blaine is in IE: "I don't give a crap about food, thank you very much."<br />I often find myself feeding Jimmie myself and I say, "Okay, I will count. Ten big bites and then we can have a treat (or watch a cartoon on youtube or play trains or...)"<br />I am all about the bribery. It also helps if you sit with them and eat too...I some times use eating time as time for mom to get stuff done time. It really should be an enjoyable sit down experience. <br />Hope that helps :) Best of luck to you, dear.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01492629476225188410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028645476191061842.post-39091823266051865012009-05-18T13:08:00.000-07:002009-05-18T13:08:00.000-07:00Oh man, Anne, I feel your pain, but I'm on the opp...Oh man, Anne, I feel your pain, but I'm on the opposite side of the spectrum. My kids ask me for food ALL DAY LONG, and the problem is that Cole and William are super picky eaters. Cole like cheese, sandwiches, and crackers. That about sums it up. I wish I had some good advice for you, and I wish my boys would eat sushi and shrimp like Blaine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
