[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] We've tried to have dessert after eating a reasonable dinner, but then everyone just sat down and immediately said "how much do I have to eat to get dessert? how much? am I done yet?" I didn't like that at all because I want them to listen to their bodies and figure out when they're full. Also, dinner conversation was nonexistent. [/quote] That used to drive me BONKERS. I just got SO tired of negotiating bites of chicken for a cookie. We finally decided that we wouldn't have dessert, except for fruit, during the week (obviously we make exceptions on birthdays) We make the dessert really special though, like a trip to the frozen yogurt place, on weekends. BTW, my 7 y/o has over the past few months become pickier too. For example he won't eat banana yogurt anymore, just vanilla and he'll only eat yellow American cheese. I'm hoping it's a phase, my teenager was a moderately picky eater and now he eats anything that's not nailed down. [/quote]
