You decide the what, where, and when of eating.<br />Your child's job is to choose how much he or she will eat of the foods you serve. Your child decides how much or even whether to eat.<br /><br />If this idea is new to you, it may take a little time for both you and your child to adjust. In time, your child will learn that he or she will be allowed to eat as little or as much as he or she wants at each meal and snack. This will encourage your child to continue to trust his or her internal hunger gauge.'<br /><br />I live by this as my son will go from eating heaps one day to next to nothing for the next few days. I hope it can help!Capricioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04518508977014425935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2138123189029626796.post-89509286960860206102010-12-01T02:02:17.751-08:002010-12-01T02:02:17.751-08:00Hi Ngaire,

The butcher gave us a free tray to try one day and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed them, and my son didn't mind them either, he had no idea they contained cauliflower.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2138123189029626796.post-54394358563351659232010-11-20T13:58:20.250-08:002010-11-20T13:58:20.250-08:00Big hugs to you - When we moved to Brisbane from S...Big hugs to you - When we moved to Brisbane from Sydney just under 4 years ago, my older daughter (3 1/2 at the time)started dropping foods like crazy. Within months we were down to bare bones and just kept riding it out thinking it was the changes in her life etc.<br /><br />4 years later we are still dealing with this with our now 7 year old. I do not believe in forcing kids to eat, bribing or using any manipulation so we have worked with her as best we can. She has managed to grow extremely well in spite of my fears and now it is mostly about my own issues and worries (embarrassment when at friend's houses, difficulty feeding her when traveling, sick of cooking boring foods for her over and over)<br /><br />We reached breaking point while traveling in Europe visiting family and friends and upon return to Brisbane went to a nutritionist who deals with children's food issues. If you like, I can email you her details. We have had major progress in the last 3 months (with trying foods - only liked 3 or 4 of the dozens but amazing that she even TRIED after all these years).<br /><br />my daughter's main diet consists of <br />daily banana for school fruit break (eats no other fruit or veg)<br />peanut butter (could live on this but not acceptable at nut free school)<br />fish fingers - only bird's eye brand<br />wholemeal tortillas with shredded mozarella cheese (heated up quesedilla style or just rolled up)<br />cereal or porridge for breakfast every day<br />homemade macaroni and cheese<br />plain pasta with nothing on it<br />crumbed fish from the local shop<br />homemade pancakes and muffins that i hide fruit and veg in<br />rice and bread - plain<br />crackers (basically loves carbs!)<br />and a few other items + snack foods and treats<br /><br />eats no chicken or meats of any kind, no fruits, veg, sauces, dips, dressing etcDeb @ inner compass designs https://www.blogger.com/profile/01966360876083121939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2138123189029626796.post-8240937103715057472010-11-20T02:27:38.288-08:002010-11-20T02:27:38.288-08:00I can't imagine what you must have gone throug...I can't imagine what you must have gone through just to get to where you are now.
