We had salmon for dinner tonight. The girls will actually eat it if I bake it in a glaze of honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Alyson put one bite in her mouth and quickly took it out making a "yuck!' face. She ate some of the rice and edamame and then wanted her milk.
Alyson: Milk!
Me: You need to eat a bite of salmon.
Alyson put a bite on her fork and ate it. She then quickly put another bite on her fork and ate that.
Alyson, once all of her salmon was gone: More! More!
We gave her more, she ate it all, and asked for more again. She ate that once it was heated up a little.
Hope my kids are good eaters like yours :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. The key is to not make it a power struggle, which is often easier said than done.
