Question
Hi there! I’m so excited to be a member of ParentGuru. You were recommended by a good friend of mine who loves you and your books!
How do you recommend handling kids refusing or being difficult/picky at meal time? We have a 3 yr old and a 17 month old. Our oldest is definitely testing us and trying to be in control. We have been trying to make dinner a happy and positive experience. We don’t force her to eat or discipline her for not eating. Nor do we cater to her by making separate meals. In regards to the variety, she eats such a huge range of things, which is great. However, dinner is often times difficult for my husband because he was raised where you sit there until you eat everything on your plate.
Thank you in advance!
