My kids will eat a very limited diet?!


Question: They are 11 and 10, but they will never try anything new. When I was little I used to try anything and if I didn't like it I still had to eat it.

You still had to eat it even if you didnt like it? Is that why you didnt use that method with your kids? Remember back to being a young mom and did you do this on purpose cause you hated having to eat stuff you didnt like? Did you swear you wouldnt do that to your kids?

If any of these are true then you created this problem- all you can do is to encourage them to try new things.

you have to make them, maybe you are approaching them in the wrong way.
i know what you mean because my neice & nephew are they same! (they are 11 & 13)

Yeah I am like that believe me I don't think they will change

When we were kids we didn't have choice, if you didn't eat it, it was served cold the next day until you did eat it.

You can't make them, I don't agree with that. All you can do is ask them to at least try it once. They are old enough now where you can't hide veggies or fruits in other food. At least get them to try it once and tell them if they don't like it, they don't have to eat it again.

im with shades on that one.

eat it or starve

you are giving them a CHOICE, so that is why they wont eat


STOP giving them a choice

Don't give them a choice. Tell them that they can either eat whatever being served or go hungry!

i was the same way as a kid my mom didn't make me eat it so i ate something else instead but i was only aloud to pick from bologna or pb&j sandwich it got old having to eat them so i did start to try other stuff

When you serve up their meals,put one or two things that you want them to try along with things they will eat,keep doing this ,every meal,just small amounts.They may get so used to having the "I don,t want to eat that " food in front of them they may finally give it a try.Worth a go,but don,t make it a battle.
