Two bites, one bite, serving components at different intervals, charts, clubs, rewards etc.........

It's all too much hubba balloo for me....

I just put everything on their plates at one time.

I encourage them to start with their cold/fresh veggies first but if they don't. Oh well.

I don't serve seconds of anything unless the whole plate is clean.

Milk is not served until mid-way through the meal. If they drink that, they can have water when they are completely done eating.

I dont have food battles and will not engage in any type of creative methods of "encouraging" them to eat. I've found that the LESS I discuss or focus on food and eating well the better the kids actually eat.

My food program rep has commented many times on the wide variety of veggies and foods my DCK's eat.

I have 10-12 kids daily and not single one of them are picky eaters. Many of them started out that way but it rarely lasts long.
