How I get my kids to eat- a step by step guide
- I start early and fix a nice, balanced meal
- I sit the girls down at the table
- I clean up and scold the two year old for throwing the food when she decides it’s “icky”
- I fix a slightly less healthy meal
- I sit them back at the table
- I clean the next mess up as the two year old (who has ate a few bites from each meal) makes yet another mess
- I cave in and feed them what they want- despite it being what I deem as healthy
- I clean the last mess up and finally release them from the table
- I bang my head against the wall repeatedly while doing the fourth or fifth load of dishes of the day and silently scream because I don’t understand how I ended up with such picky and light eaters.
