Have parents given up on being good yet strick parents? We live in a society today where?

As the author to this question I will voice my opinion in the form of a Question. Do you permit your baby or child to blatantly refuse to eat the food you have prepared for it, or do you give it to the child breakfast lunch and dinner, until the child eats it?

Well in the regards to meals, my kids have a few options at every meal. They can eat what is servedor they may eat a selection of a peanut butter sandwich, fruits and vegetables. My kids are pretty picky eaters, and they do not always agree with what is served, but they still have to eat something with nutritional value if they do not want what is served.

I don't know if that makes us overly permissive, but I have tried to force my children to eat what is served, and have decided that it's a battle not worth fighting. As long as they're recieving the proper nutrients at every meal, that's what's really important to me.

I am permissive when it comes to things I can be flexible about. Food is one of them. I understand that people have different tastes and if I don't like the food I won't eat it myself.

But with things like safety, politeness there is no negotiation. I think it depends on what is important for you as a parent. You may eg. Allow things in your home that I would disapprove as a parent because we may value different things.

For me using a foul language and kicking other children is not OK at all but we are OK with child choosing her food, if you kwim.

I can imagine how frustrated you are when your child refuses to eat the best and healthy food available. I work with kids and have two teenagers now. When my daughter was very young, she hardly finishes her meals on time.

But now, she's a grown up and I know she grew up healthy. At work, I spend a lot of time with infants 19 months over, often, we have to be creative when feeding babies. Not only that we have to make them feel excited about their food, you often have to have different strategies so they will eat their food.

Some parents even have a list for their kids on what to eat at school, we are flexible however, we do our best to encourage kids or babies to eat the healthy foods first then, the snacks. It takes a lot of patience and love though in the whole process.

This is my mom's philosophy: eat what I make you or starve. As a former picky eater, I can say that it works wonders.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
