Child starving herself

[mickyc]

I have had my share of picky eaters. I just keep putting the same meal in front of the child. I quit fighting about it. Also for the ones I know will just eat the carb portion I only give the fruit/veggie and when they are done that then they get the carb portion. You don't eat that then you don't get the other. No more fighting, no more sitting at the table forever. Also only those finished are excused from the table. Those that don't eat sit until the last kid is done.

Now if only I could get past the kid holding food in his mouth!!! Lol. He's still doing it and then gets upset when I take his full plate away but whatever, mealtime is over!

. Oh Imso feel your pain on this! I have one too (my first!). I've had her for 2 years and she stopped recently for about 3 months and now has gone back to it! I am soo soo sick of sweeping the food from her mouth before every single nap...eww. I've tried reward, tiny portions and now just don't react at all. Let me know if you find the solution!
