[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two very easy, lovely kids that get tons of compliments for their behavior. The middle one especially has been a dream to raise. They are 6 and 8. My youngest is 2 and has been such a different story- very challenging daily. It has really humbled me. The only thing I feel is definitely important and helpful with my older kids is consistent nutrition. We prioritized high-quality meats and produce, no processed sugars, low natural sugars among other good eating habits and I swear it contributes to my kids being and feeling balanced. My youngest is by far the most challenging eater and I am less strict with her diet, so it tracks with my little research pool.[/quote]

You're mixing up correlation and causation.[/quote]

I’m obviously just sharing an observation based on my tiny family. My point is that I think my toddler would feel and act better if she would eat better meals than she does. Lots of parents and kids struggle with this, and I empathize now after having two great eaters who basically eat whatever I want them to. My point is that I think nutrition is important. [/quote]

I understand, but even in your story you're mixing up correlation and causation. Moving away from a strict diet of "high quality meats" and "no processed sugars" aren't the cause of the behavioral challenges you're experiencing. The behavioral challenges are being reflected in the level of cooperation with meals.[/quote]
