[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would try a reward system if you haven’t already. If he likes Pokémon cards for example, two if he finishes his lunch and one if he eats the protein. Protein could be smoked turkey, a boiled egg, egg + cheese + veggie frittata baked in muffin pan, meatballs, meat patties with chopped up vegetables, dumplings, etc. It has to be a reward he really likes. Eventually he’ll build the habit and realize that it’s not that bad to sit down and eat lunch. We definitely talk to our kids about how important this is and make it a somewhat big deal for them to finish or at least eat part of lunch.[/quote] I wouldn’t do this. The end goal is for kids to listen to their bodies, not to clean their plates. I don’t believe in rewards and punishments based on how much or what you ate. [/quote]
