I refuse to get into power struggles with kids about eating.
I serve a healthy well balanced menu.
My role is to serve.
The daycare kids' role is to eat (or don't)
But if they don't eat, there is nothing else offered or served until the next meal/snack time.
I also do NOT offer carbs for snacks. Only fresh veggies.
If mom would adopt the same practices at home this would be a non-issue but if mom thinks she HAS to offer/serve/prepare ONLY those things that he will eat, then THAT is the problem right there.
The child is simply holding out until the things he likes are offered.
Given that choice in life, I'd probably do the same
But since that isn't an option.....I am "forced" to eat other things.
