Never give in to a toddler bullying you for bad food. Also don't beg them to eat. Let them know that the only food available is what you've provided.

[@staceyhunt6769]

I tend to have a "You can eat it now, or I can put it away for later" thing. If they aren't hungry right now, fighting won't help. But effectively telling them to starve causes a whole host of issues too. And even we as adults don't always feel hungry when we 'should' and often do when we 'Shouldn't'. When they are hungry, calmly get their food back. Refusal, calmly away. They know they can have food if they want it. That you are willing to provide it. The rest is up to them. Additionally, it needs to be a different ball game if they really do not like it. If they're gagging on a food instead of just not eating, then that's a no. Simple as that. They're humans too. Everyone has their stuff. Some more than others but it is what it is. For example very few in the UK would be able to stomach natto, or durian. And that's fine. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Soda was for birthday parties and Christmas but I don't remember when I tried it. Mum thinks 5/6 but it was lemonade in liquor glasses so we could do cheers with the grownups on special occasions. I'm still not massively into fizzy (hate coke, too strong chocolate water) but maybe had free reign to eat and drink junk like that about 13. I don't think anyone under 5 should try it and no fizzy with caffeine or allowed it more than celebrations till ten to thirteen/when kids can start to make their own better and worse choices with food (I made plenty of bad ones with other foods like carbs even if I don't get fizzy drink addiction). It freaks me out kids can even handle cola ect. I remember one Xmas party I was minding a 4yo while the adults had a bit of free time outside (14ish and I liked babysitting so not abuse lol I offered) and gave him a tiny bit of lemonade while we ate and it turned out it was hit first try and his mum was worried when I mentioned cos she'd tried to keep him away from it- and he hated it.

Parents are in total denial. They are responsible for what their children eat. They are too freaking lazy to prepare healthy meals, so they turn to take away. When you train your children too eat healthy, they don't wind up with rotten baby teeth, or become obese. Parents just don't want to admit their at fault, they remain in "DENIAL ".

True. I took juice boxes for my children to drink at birthday parties when coke/sprite was being served. The day came when they both begged to have a soft drink. So, I emptied a sprite bottle and filled it with tonic. Neither asked for it again. Trickery? Yes, but both are in their late 20s and aside from a morning coffee, they only drink water. However, I can see that parents who are strapped for time might turn to quick, take-out meals. The easier part is saying "No" early on.

[@roguenrawwellness7682]

I think Michael’s parents are trying but he’s a willful boy and most kids are. It’s all how you approach a child. My little cousin was a sickly baby too, and he got very attached to his mom. So when she went back to work, he got separation anxiety. He would only eat muffins, chicken nuggets, and pastina. So when I would babysit I’d make it a point to make what I gave him fun. Fruit was easy cuz it was sweet and I’d put it in fun shapes. Veggies he would eat cut into sticks, cuz he loved anything he could play with. And I let him choose. He could choose his vegetable and he could choose his fruit. But either way he ate fruit or vegetables.

[@evieechan498]

That's a great approach for little ones, and I'll probably do that when I have children. I definitely love the shapes idea! And I think you're right. There should be a level of autonomy in the process. Offering choices of veg and fruit, and making it a game they can have fun with will most likely foster enjoyment in the foods. The child will be more likely to have them more often if it's fun and engaging.

[@Dimplez271]

Those are good ideas. With my kids we would have junk food on the weekends and once in awhile during the week or if we had a movie night. So i think they learned junk food is a special occasion food like cake yk it’s a treat for a special occasion or every now and again as a treat.

My main question is: If they don't like cooking, why don't they give their kids (like the toddlers over 2 years old) some Instant porridge, grapes, blueberries, raspberries a lick of yoghurt or some baby carrots and such "pre cut" veggies with a hummus dip. I mean it's still not a warm meal but its WORLDS better than giving them Chips and doner meat and Chicken nuggets and all the sweets? I get it that motherhood can be stressful but even if they need take away foods during weeknights they could make the other meals and snacks healthier. Unbelievable.

I am a mother of two. Fortunately our kids were not spoiled with junk food. Kids will eat when they are hungry. Kids will eat what's in front of them if they know they don't have another choice. I learned that growing up with 6 siblings. There was no choice of food, no one asked us kids what we like for dinner and no one cares if you don't like something on the table. I remember my sister had a friend who was the only child and her Mom kept complaining that her daughter didn't want to eat ( I am sure the mother asked her only child what she wanted for dinner everyday). My Mom said to the mother," Bring your daughter to our house and have dinner with my kids(7of us)." She did come for a while and ate with us, no problem. My response to the kid in the video who didn't want to eat his dinner and want something else is : ignore him, clean up the table and put him to bed as if nothing happens. If he cries hungry, tell him that just for this time, he can have another chance to eat his old dinner, next time, he's going to bed hungry.

[@hedaheda1609]

It has nothing to do with the number of children in the family, but with parenting principles. I grew up as an only child in family, but I ate what was brought to the table, and it didn't occur to me to make whims and scenes at the table (or at all). My friend's two children, on the other hand, were real Suppenkaspers, as the Germans say, picky eaters - and their mother indulged their whims like a servant.

For the parents like ones above the chips shop- get a kids plate with a suction pad on it so kid cannot throw it. Secondly just leave the kid to eat. If they don’t eat, they don’t eat. Once they are hungry they will eat. If they loose a little weak gut at first so what the kid is probably over eight with all that junk. Do NOT give in. It’s healthy or nothing. Leave kids to explore their food don’t try forcing it down them.

@JJ-gr9yz I'm not talking about kids with genuine medical problems. I'm talking about toddlers who are just being demanding fussy eaters. If a child genuinely has a medical problem, then yes, I'd approach in a totally different way, but none of these kids did. They were just fussy controlling kids with parents who gave in to them. Also, denying kids junk is absolutely fine. No kids should be eating junk food. My parents were brought up with a - you eat what you are given or you don't get dinner. I don't mind if kids don't like the odd thing. But no kid should be refusing every healthy thing and only consuming rubbish.
