How to Create Food Neutrality for Your Child
The other day I walked in from the store and my son came running in to make sure I got more peppers. He then wanted me to cut them for him to eat right then and there. Then my daughter started helping me unload the groceries and I heard, “*GASP* Mommy, you got me strawberries!!” in the sweetest and most endearing voice. Once everything was put away, I made hard-boiled eggs, and my boys were begging for them out of the instant-pot warm and sprinkled with a touch of salt. They do the exact same thing when I buy pop-tarts or make fresh-baked cookies.
7 Reasons Your Kid Snacks All Day
Does this sound familiar? --> Mom, I’m hungry! Can I have another snack?I know what those endless requests are like. Some days are just like that. In fact, as I sit here writing you this email, I just put out a plate of cheese and crackers, some with cream cheese, some plain, a bowl of orange segments, granola bars, and apples. And within no time they’re back asking for more saying they ate it all.Some days I put it all out and it’s essentially untouched. Other days are like today.
How to help your child stop overeating
Do you wonder how to help your child stop overeating? Have you ever wanted to say, I told you so! when you watched your child eat "too much?" My oldest kiddo is definitely the most “into” food. He also has the biggest appetite. I remember one of the first times he told me he didn’t feel well because he ate too much ??? It was his first bbq chicken pizza. I had made it at home for lunch one day and he kept going back for more and more and then some more. Finally, he said, “Ugh! My stomach hurts!” ? He laid on the couch and after a bit felt better.
Are you struggling to get in enough veggies?
Are you struggling to get in enough veggies? Are you finding it harder to serve fresh veggies right now? Or maybe your kids are refusing veggies or just not interested in them right now? Or maybe this is common and they generally don’t eat them.
Keep Offering Not Requiring
The other night we had burgers for dinner. We made some patties with cheese and some plain. Then I put out pickles and a choice of sauces: ketchup, mustard, and BBQ. I also served french fries and broccoli. And as dinner unfolded I was given the reminder, keep offering not requiring.
Making Sense of Sweets
I have watched my children down multiple bowls of ice cream in one sitting, almost an entire bag of sour gummy worms from the store, and more cookies than I could count at a party. It doesn’t always seem ideal. However, I also know from observing, these same kids will take two bites of a cookie and say “I’m done” or one bite of ice cream and then throw away the melted mess. The other day I was leaving for work and my kids were asking the babysitter for leftover cookies and cake from the birthday party a few days before.
