As a mom who has a 2 year old that is so hard to get to eat healthy foods, this really hit home for me. He loves a few, select fruits but other than that... he would rather starve than eat unless its something crappy. Even as a little baby he refused to eat veggie baby food. He spit it out or tight lipped and wouldnt let the spoon near him. Other times, hed knock the container clear across the room. Ive tried to be clever and mask the veggies or puree them and mix a little into whatever hes eating but hes like a veggie seeking missile. We refuse to give in but its an uphill battle. My daughter, on the other hand, is the healthiest eater I know and shes always been that way. It can be hard to parent a picky child and to force them to eat good food, especially when theyre too young to understand what youre trying to do and why. But this is why you HAVE to do it anyway. I am way out of my element here. No one else in the family has such an aversion to healthy foods. I could cry thinking about how real the possibility of this fate is for my baby boy if his behavior isnt corrected now. Heres to all the parents fighting the good fight. I feel your pain. Lets never give up. They may cry now, but theyll thank you for it later. Or, at the very least, theyll never have a reason to wish you wouldve done something more...tried one more trick...pushed them a little bit harder to make the right food choices. with Brian Coleman
