How do I get my kids to eat what I eat? I get asked this question almost everyday. Heres the answer, they dont have a choice. I know that may sound harsh to some of you, but let me explain. I hate it if my kids dont eat, even when theyre sick, I try to get something in their bellies. But, I refuse to to make 2-3 different meals every night or give them cereal as an alternative. They do whine, and gag at times, thats normal, theyre kids. I dont force them to eat it all, but they have to take at least a few bites of something they dont want before they refuse it all together. If they cry, they go to their rooms and can come back out when theyre ready to eat or they can go to bed. My kids are far from deprived. Im teaching them to try new things, and teaching them that as the parent I know whats best for them. Its my responsibility and giving in to their crying gives them the power that belongs to you. Tonight, Amor ate all her sweet potatoes, kale, and chicken for the very first time all by herself!! My consistency is paying off!! Were still working on Malia though.
