In keeping with Satter's plan, I've taken to encouraging but (usually) not demanding that my children try everything on their plates - it kind of depends on whether I think they might actually like it.Chief Family Officerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02320154821990804327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259011.post-42491070640598884322009-03-25T07:57:00.000-07:002009-03-25T07:57:00.000-07:00I found with my daughter and her friends it was ea...I found with my daughter and her friends it was easier if they were required one bite of every thing. If they did not like it they did not have to eat it but they had to tell me what they did like. No one was allowed to say they did not like something. We would list things we liked and I would make more of these. Meals were more pleasant for everyone. An friends who normally would say they did not like anything the did not recognize learned to like new foods. I stressed what we called house rules each home has individual rules on behavior form drinking out of bowls to using chop sticks or removing shoes. Another of mine after school snack consisted of one healthy and one junk for a snack.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01534282835311967919noreply@blogger.com
