Picky Eaters – Part 3
May 28, 2008 Food 2 CommentsThis is the 3rd time I have titled an article using the word “picky”. The facts are there to support it, though. Many of our children are picky eaters. (not at all like Grandpa Richard, who eats practically anything, except spicy stuff!)
I also wrote about using smoothies to get some fresh fruit and vegetables into your children. It is true that most children don’t like to eat vegetables especially. How can parents get them to eat the food that is so good for them? Here are some additional ideas:
Kids Love Smoothies
May 25, 2008 Food No CommentsMy granddaughter Jasmine told me the other day that she really likes the milkshakes that her mom makes. I was curious and decided to see what these milkshakes are all about. It turns out that what we are really talking about are fruit smoothies.
That brought up a really important question. Do you know how nutritious a fruit smoothie can be?
Preschoolers who will not eat
July 14, 2007 Food No CommentsWe have all seen them. Children who will not try new foods. We make sure that we have the same foods on our plates, and we make sure that we are seen to enjoy them, but our children just cannot be convinced.

Picky Eaters
July 4, 2007 Food No CommentsIs your child a picky eater? Forcing them to eat the foods you choose for them is not the best solution. You need to decide what foods are available at meal times.

If you provide a variety of foods, they will eventually come around.
Kids not eating enough? Start a food log
July 2, 2007 Food No CommentsAs long as I can remember I have have been eating whatever was put in front of me. My mom still thought I didn’t eat enough. So she started to buy special pies with high calorie counts. Perhaps you’re watching your child eat and wondering if they’re getting enough; enough food, enough nutrition.

Picky Eaters
February 24, 2007 Food No Comments“Mommy. What is this?”, your son questions as he pushes the food around on his plate.
“Mom. This stuff is yucky!”, your daughter proclaims, yet you know she has not even tried it.
The battle over the food plates of the world continues, generation after generation, parents against picky eaters. Are you irritated when your son constantly picks things out of his plate like they were the most disgusting things he had ever seen on earth? Vegetables are usually the unfortunate targets. However, picky eaters are definitely not picky about the battles they fight.
