This is one of the many anthems that all moms sing on a daily basis. I have seen mommies begging, dancing and yelling at the little ones just to have another little bite. I have myself been there and done that. Have I stopped now? Absolutely Not.
I have a two-year-old son who can give Feviquick a run for money when he has to shut his mouth tight and refuse my pleas for another morsel. That's how it started, so obviously I tried to find a way around it. Little one accepted the challenge and then the next trick was to shake his head in disagreement. Fought my way through that, the next you know he would just spit the food out. I am so sure most of us have been there. We lose our cool, they lose their appetite and before you know the place is even messy.
I went through this on a daily basis - with no help at all , food time was a nightmare. Pushing me to a breakdown, I would lose my temper but you can't really shower it on the kids. I had gone to drop my son to his playgroup and this was the best piece of advice I have received and yes it worked for me. It came from the Playgroup owner, a lovely woman and believe me she understood kids so well. She also has a TO DO LIST that I would love to share,
The Advice
Now how do we get there. This is a process ladies and gentlemen, it will take time. Let’s your kids observe and give them that space to inculcate that value in them. This could take more than 10 days for the signs to show up.
The Practical Advice
This was my way of working through the FOOD WAR, have I won? Can’t say . But this definitely put my mind at ease and made the struggle a little less challenging. If this helps you please share it with all those moms out there.
