[quote=Anonymous]So far, the best way to make my 4 year old to try new food/do tasks are giving him rewards or compete to see who can do it faster. For example, he does not want to brush teeth, and I will compete with him who can brush teeth first. He does not want to try new food, I will tell him that he can play such toy after trying a bite. He does not want to wake up from bed, I will compete with him who can go to bathroom first. He likes to beat me/win, and I often slow down & most of the time let him win to make him happy. He laughs at me when he wins me. He whines a bit sometimes when I accidentally win. The best scenarios are that he does all these independently by himself & without me pushing at all. DH does not like this competition & reward system, but it has been working so far. Please share insights if would that backfire when he gets older? [/quote]
