[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.  Please instruct me how to do the portion. At every dinner, I have 50% for carb (she normally will eat 30-50% of that, but sometimes none), 25% veggie (does not touch that), 25% meat (not eating it these days). There is always a glass of milk that she never touches and I drink at the end of mealtime. I can add a small apple that slices up, and I think she can eats 5-6 pieces of it. It is still not enough food that she still goes hungry. Should I add additional different carb (like bread rolls, muffin) on the side that I know she will eat? But those are breakfast food, so she will eat same breakfast food & dinner food? Isn't it unhealthy if I increase her carb intake like this at mealtime on top of her poor diet?

I know what she wants to eat, we have cheese pizza every friday (she will eat) but I cannot feed her cheese pizza every night. She also likes cupcake, muffin, cookie, crackers, icecream and juice. I am happy to give her that as rewards for eating some dinner, but not to feed her up with these junk food.

[b] She does not let me to take away her food tray or take her down from booster seat[/b], but she keeps telling me that she wants "snacks" and "juice". Sure, I can let her sitting by me to keep me company to eat, and so I should stay calm and not offering any more food before her bedtime? She did that a few times drinking a full bottle of water because she was hungry, and she wets the bed (diaper too full) and crying/waking up in the middle of night. Of course, I can put a protective cover over bedsheet if that helps.

OP she's 2.  There is no "let".  You are the parent!

I really think you would benefit from reading a couple parenting books to help with this age.

I highly recommend Janet Lansbury "No Bad Kids" and also Ellyn Satter Child of Mine.[/quote]
