Serving the same old things

Sometimes it does come down to the some food - any food is better than the child eating no food. This is where trying to sneak some extra nutritious foods into the meals helps but just as kids stopped eating all the good foods they did as babies most go back to being better eaters in their own time. It is frustrating to cook and waste the food and then have to deal with grumpy kids who don't want to nap because they are hungry. Why do we do that to ourselves like that is beyond me. If the parents started letting the kids eat these foods at home and basically taught them to prefer them then they really can't hold it against the caregiver for resorting to whatever the kids will eat some days.
