When my own kids were little I went a little more out of my way to ensure nutrition than I do now. Also "back then" attitudes were that it was the mother's (caregiver's) role to get the veggies into them or risk being labelled a "bad" parent. For the most part now the attitude is that our role is to serve the nutritious foods, limit or eliminate the non nutritous, and then it is up to the child to decide to eat or not. Society attitudes will change again just as they do in all aspects of parenting. But for now I just find caregivers tolerate so much more than we did years ago and get less respect and compensation for doing it that it really doesn't encourage us to go out of our way to do what even the children's own parents can't be bothered doing.
