[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know, am I really outdated? I teach ny kid to take a spoonful of everything that’s being passed around and take a bite of each of those spoonfuls on his plate? [/quote] Yes, this is outdated advice on how to help kids have a healthy relationship with food. [/quote] Though I bet her kids eat a lot more variety because of it. [/quote] I bet you're wrong, or that the variety they're eating in only happening because they're forced and will dry up once they are finally allowed to make their own choices. [/quote] Is this some kind of new parenting trope?? My kids are 6 and 8 and I make them TRY everything. I say "You're allowed to not like it but not until you taste it." Many times they end up admitting they like something they didn't want to eat. I made some curry yesterday that obviously didn't look good to them (orange slop on rice!) but they ended up devouring it. So we're supposed to let kids only eat what they like now? My kids would live on carbs.[/quote] In Girl Scouts this as known as the No Thank You Helping. In other words if you said no thank you, you still got a small spoonful to try.[/quote] Nope. This is not a Girl Scout thing. Your mommy told you that to make you do it.[/quote]
