What to do with a picky eaters?

In my opinion, it is not bad parenting to limit a child from what they eat. Being picky will only last as long as you let it. If the child refuses to eat what you provide, then the child is choosing not to eat.

Once the child realizes that the food you provide is all that they will get, then they will begin to eat it despite their dislike for it. You can't let someone that thinks candy is a food group over rule your decision. 1.

Children are still operating on instinct. If they aren't eating, they may simply not be hungry. Also, don't bribe them, this isn't a negotiation.

You are the parent. They are learning from you, not deciding for you. 2.

Meal routine comes first, snacks are not as necessary. If they have problems eating their meal, then snacks might need to be cut back, especially before meals. This includes juices and milk.

Both of these are high in glucose sugar which is energy. If its providing enough energy for them not to eat, then it should be cut out for more nourishing foods. 3.

Focus less on the taste and more on the shape and color. They might find more appeal in eating orange squares and green circles than peas and carrots. Trying new foods may take getting used to.

4. Decorate the food or offer sauces to go with appropriate foods. Even creating games to let them play with the goal being to eat the food. My father used to race me in cleaning my plate.

Not exactly good eating habits, but it took my excuse for not liking spinach away when it came around. 5. Take the kid shopping and then while shopping, present choices for them so they feel like they are deciding what they get to eat, limiting their choices of course only to healthy foods.

During the toddler years, children may be picky eaters. As a parent you have to be careful in how you approach them. You can follow the following tips— • Don’t force your child to eat.

€¢ Ask your child what he/she likes to eat and thoughtfully consider those options. €¢ Eat together with your child. €¢ Prepare only one item at a time for a meal.

€¢ Don’t allow your child eat a snack one hour before the meal time. Source: parenting-toddler-secrets.com/picky-eate....

Become a really good salesperson. And remember that you're smarter than a three-year-old. My son--our first and only child-- is now 6.

He was a picky eater for a while For the longest time, all he would eat was some type of chicken nuggets or strips--no matter what restaurant we went to. We just followed the same principle we did when he was a baby: He'll eat when he's hungry. He liked to eat ham, cheese and salami, but refused to eat a sandwich.So I just outsmarted him.

One day I came home with a Subway cold-cut combo (plain, nothing on it is how I like it) and he looked across the table and said "Mmm. What's that?" I opened it up.

"Lesseee, here, you got your ham, your salami, your cheese and some really good bread. I just got it all together to save time. Wanna try?

" "Mmm, it's good," he said. " congratulations--give Dad a high five. You just ate a sandwich.

Was that so terrible? " The same child who, a few days ago, he was asking if we could go to a Thai restaurant for dinner He lives to go for Dim-Sum at Chinese restaurants--he recently tried shrimp last year and loved it,k. Now, any shrimp dumpling is fair game for him.. Sell anything to my son as "steak" and he'll try it--and usually like it, including Greek gyros meat, Korean Bulgogi and BBQ ribs.

Here's one I'm particularly proud of: he wanted chocolate milk recently, and we made some together. But I looked in the fridge and saw the unopened bottle of seltzer and said to myself, "I must have been his age when my father used to take me to work with him in New York City--and we always went to a deli and there was one drink that's quintessentially New Yorker: "Come here, kiddo, check this out," I said. I put some chocolate syrup in the bottom of a cup, poured some milk in--maybe an inch--and I stirred it.

Really chocolatey milk. But that was only half the excitement. I poured seltzer in up to the top of the glass and gave it a gentle stir.

A head formed on it, and I took a sip. A memory of childhood.It's got to be Fox's U-Bet Chocolate syrup--even here in St. Louis, Missouri. "Take a sip of this," I said.

"No!" He said. I knew I had to sell it.

"Man, you are missing out. This is a genuine, grade-A, first-class, real-deal New York Egg Cream. " "Egg cream?

Yuck, I'm not drinking eggs." "Dude, you just saw me make it. It's chocolate-milk-flavored soda. What could be bad?"

I had to make another one for myself. But when it comes down to it, some kids won't try much. My son has tried a lot and knows what he likes and what he doesn't like--which is good, because anything can be used as a humping-off point for anything else, and shrimp has led to crab, scallops...the kid will eat almost any type of shellfish."It tastes just like shrimp" or "It's seafood, just like shrimp.

" He knows he likes shrimp. See also: http://www.heritageradionetwork.com/episodes/993-Brooklyn-Eats-Episode-14-Egg-Creams http://roncasalotti.wordpress.com/2008/08/07/my-new-york-1-a-continuing-series.

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.
