Don't buy no more nuggets? Children should eat what the parents are eating. Veggies, bread, a little meat, mashed potatoes, a half slice of wheat toast, with a little butter on it. finger foods...fun stuff...she will also learn to appreciate meal times as they can be time you spend with her. Good Luck |

Pick your battles - if you let this one go without putting up a fight, it
can be a problem for many years. When I worked as a server, I remember telling a 50 year old businessman that the tomatoes for the burger were served on the side to which he replied, "are you an idiot? I said I didn't want to SEE tomatoes on my table." He then asked me to remove the ketchup. When his food was brought to him (by another server) he exploded that the tomatoes had "obviously been put on the plate and then removed at the last second." Sheesh. 1. Give the kid a variety (as was said above) of colors and textures, but don't fall into the trap of custom making food forever. What is served is served. My mother-in-law "lost" the battle and made 2 or 3 separate meals each day to placate her husband and kids. It is so ridiculous that when the family orders carry out, she has to stop at 3 different restaurants! BTW, the "kids" are now 25-35 years old and still do this. They have so many "food rules" that she even makes 3 different Thanksgiving dishes - each kid gets their own veggie, meat and even pie! 2. Most "fussy children" learn about food as one of the few things they can control. As a former server, bartender and schoolteacher, I think food issues are more about power and control and less about taste than you might think. Anorexia and bulimia have little to do with taste. You are the parent - you decide what the kid will eat, not the other way around. 3. One plan my mother implemented was that each child had one item they never had to eat - no questions asked. This item could not be changed on a whim and for most of the family, it was the same item for decades. (For me, it was brussel sprouts - but I learned the error of my ways in college) 4. Some kids are naturally lean, some are not. Some eat everything, others are more picky. But, I have never heard of a child starving because they were picky. My niece (age 4) frequently refuses to eat any dinner at all, but will then snack on cookies and cereal all night. Her mother complains "she never eats, I am worried about her health." Funny thing, the kid isn't losing any weight. If you start feeding the child only chicken nuggets (don't get me started) because "that's all they will eat!" you are setting yourself up for a long, long battle. |

Yes quite agree - It is about control - the kids are feeling out of
control. I think if the parents tell them 'I'll control what you will eat, and it must be done my way' might not resolve the issue. And in the same way, when the parents cannot control what the kids eat, the parents feel out of control of their kids, which will not resolve the issue either. The idea about letting the kids choose something they don't like and no question ask is very useful!! We all change our tastes as we grow and try new things. I think it is about choice, if the kids can trust that the parent will always let them choose, and will help them choose if they ask the parents to, then they feel they are loved and so do not feel out of control. And that the parents can trust that the kids can learn to choose, just like the brussel sprouts story, and trust the kids will ask if they need help choosing, then there is no problem. Thinking about it, this can be applied to everything in life. |

This reminds me, a fond memory.
My family visited a temple. And they had vegetarian food. One of those is sweet black seasame soup (it's sweet, black, and with consistency like tomato soup) Anyway, I was little then, looked at it, thought gosh, blo*dy hell not gonna eat that! That black stuff! My mum said, "you must at least try! Just one spoonful, and if you don't like it, then you don't have to eat it anymore." I was glad she said I didn't have to eat it if I tried and did not like it! So I did, and I loved it! |

Until he was 3 or so, his mother could give him The Look if he'd done something wrong. You know The Look, right? Well, one day, she gave him The Look and for some reason, he found something funny about it and fell on the floor laughing. She looked horrified. He had taken away her main weapon in the war against naughtiness. No matter how serious she tried to look, it made him laugh. :-) |

He tried my calamari just so that he would tell his friends he had eaten something disgusting. Once he tried it he realized how good it was. He had always been easy to please. The only thing I can think of that he absolutely refused to try was oxtails. Even when we was very young he was easy to please. He especially liked fish, and few times when he balked at some sort of flesh we told him it was fish and he ate it up. I had him at a friend's bar before he was two and people were amazed that he was eating Buffalo wings, hot, not mild. One thing he did not like when he was young was steak. A friend suggested cutting it into very thin strips. That turned out to be much easier for him to chew. |

I took mine to a restaurant here that's famous for wings with names like hot, catatonic, and wise guy specials (they give you a glass of milk with those whether you ask for it or not). The friend with us ordered the latter, and my son tried one, then another, and then his burger arrived and he quit the wings. But, he liked them. No comment at all the next day about burning exhaust issues. ![]() |

It's often about control and power. Sometimes you need to give them less control and power, and sometimes more. Kids will not starve themselves to death. If you give them the choice of not eating anything at a meal, and then refuse to feed them between meals, they will soon find that eating is a good thing. You don't want to make a big deal out of it. Sometimes getting them involved in food prep can give them the control they want. -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California, USA |

My 2 year old boy is one heck of a fussy eater, the best thing we found
so far was to limit the amount of food he takes between meals.

I've got a grandson that said he didn't like tomatoes when he was about
three - my daughter "convinced" him he was eating spaghetti and "strawberries" and he would eat it.!! |

Neither does she. There seems to be this notion afoot that parents have to demonstrate that they're in charge. That what they say goes and the kids have to just go along and shut up... Have you forgotten how things were when you were a child? How many things you were forced to do? Did you like it? In our house, from the day we brought them home from the hospital, it was you have to at least taste it. If you say "yuck" you never have to eat it again if you don't want to. So there has never been a contest in our house. We saved our parental authority for those things that represented a hazard to the kids. When the kids feel like they can exercise some control over their world, the relationship with parents is a lot smoother. Pastorio |

If, however, you whine then the punishment is to have to eat it. Easy. marcella |

Works well for us. And if the kid says "The reason I didn't eat that is because I don't feel well," is that whining? Interesting characterization of whining. >>I was forced to eat too many things as a kid to make mine eat things >>they say ick about - I was physically ill over several.

If, however, > you whine then the punishment is to have to eat it. > > Easy. Too easy. My note was more figurative than literal. The kids didn't actually say "yuck." They indicated - typically when asked - if they liked it, whatever it was. There was no whining because there was no need to - no penalty accrued for stating the truth of their preferences. It was matter of fact. I wanted to know what they liked or didn't like for the next time I might want to prepare that food. The other thing that grew out of that approach is that sometimes they got to choose the food for some meals. They created the menus. Or they chose the restaurants. My parents were of the "clean your plate" school. I vowed that I would never do that. The recurrent question for me was "How come it's ok for adults to not eat when they don't like but kids have to?" So I wanted to know exactly what their thoughts were about their food. I didn't force them to shut up, either. Pastorio |

There's no need for force. Simply stop continually offering turkey dinosaurs. I've yet to see the kid that will starve themselves at 2 yrs old. Hunger will win, it always does. There's also a big difference between limiting your diet to a single food and not liking particular foods. My kids know that it is quite alright to dislike a food, and have no problem saying so. They also know that they have to try something before they can claim they dislike it. I'm not saying you need to make every meal a battle of the wills, but this is a 2 yr old child we're talking about, not 7 or 8. The awareness is quite different. Making food fun and eating a pleasant experience goes a long way at that age. Offering nothing but one food because you think it's all they'll eat isn't doing anyone any favors. In fact, I dare say it's hazardous. kimberly |

That's what we do. Our toddler will try almost anything... Some days she eats better than others, but that's normal IMHO. Tonight we had chicken livers and she enjoyed them! I was surprised, because she is not a big "meat" eater. We don't force her to eat stuff she doesn't like cos we don't believe in that. But I don't make "special" meals for her. She eats all sorts of fruit and veggies, and enjoys to eat raw veggies when I prepare them. Try letting her "help" you in the kitchen...our little one likes that... it might encourage her to try new things. -- Cheers Cathy(xyz) |

Offer her all types of foods in different sizes, shapes, colors and textures. Offer her different "dips" to dip them in - ketchup, Ranch dressing, mayo, etc. Sooner or later she will get hungry enough to eat that whichis in front of her. Do not pander to her whims, or you will end up in an endless power struggle over food with your child. If my son (also 2) doesn't eat his breakfast or lunch, you can bet he eats his dinner, because he is hungry. Most of the time, though, he eats what I give him (and is an excellent eater) because I have taken this approach with him from the beginning. There are very few foods he won't eat. (And, BTW, I do not give him any "character" foods as I see them more as playthings than food items. My only exception to this is Goldfish-type crackers (organic whole-grain version). -L. |

I was a fussy eater all through childhood. So was my sister, but she was worse. Eventually we grew up to be much less fussy, but healthy and happy adults. Your daughter's fussiness may be just her way of playing a power game with you. Don't play that game. If all she wants to eat is yoghurt and turkey, then feed her that and eventually, she'll branch out to other foods on her own. Of course, you should discuss your child's situation with a pediatrician just to be sure she's well nourished. |

Seriously. It cracks me up when people claim "My child will only eat.....(insert food here)" Children don't leave the womb demanding turkey dinosaurs. Feed your child a variety of food and your child will eat a variety of food. It helps if you eat a variety as well. If you're not offering turkey dinosaurs, trust me, hunger will win out. kimberly |

The parent is ultimately the one responsible for the child - including their nutrition. If a child wanted to play with knives, a parent wouldn't let them for their own good. The same goes with food, just because a child *wants* to eat nothing but junk - the parent should still -not let them- and be responsible for their nutrition. A lot of kids seem to think they should be able to eat only their favourite foods. None of us eat only our favourites all the time - they're for the special occasions. There's a huge range of foods between the favourites and really hated. Jen |

You take out as many as you wish to serve, bake them in the oven until toasty, and serve with various dipping sauces. They're finger food, which makes them attractive to small children. maxine in ri |

But, for a different reason. They're very busy watching TV, and sticking chicken nuggets in the oven takes only 43 seconds. ![]() |
