[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing that works in our house (6 year old) is to look him in the eye and say, 'I don't think you are old enough to enjoy this.". And eat it in front of him. Suddenly he wants to try things he would never try. [/quote] One thing that works with our twins..."A, if you don't want this, I'll just give it to B" At 2.5 they are at a very competitive stage, competitive for attention, for love, for hugs, and territorially competitive (Mine!). The thought that something would be given to the sibling is enough to make them gobble it down. Negative psychology also works with toddlers. Sometimes it works to look at the child and say that I really don't think you should eat that. I'll just take it away because... and they'll grab the plate back and will look straight into your eyes as they smugly put the item into their mouth and dramatically chew and swallow it. I then sigh and lament that I had told him not to eat it...and the game goes on.[/quote]
