Dare him to eat the most nasty thing. "I DARE YOU to eat those green beans. No? Watch this, I'll step on them and THEN eat them...............YYYYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUM!" "Ewww. Yuck." "Well son? What? Can you top Dad? I'll bet you can't eat those 'taters with peas and eggs in a smashed bunch of bread..." Etc.

I love em too.....that's why I keep trying to get her to eat them. She ate pickled beets for ****'s sake.....peas seem reasonable after that.

We didn't force our kids to eat. They had to try a couple of bites of everything but after that it was their choice to eat of not. However, they didn't get anything else. Next meal was breakfast. The power struggle over eating wasn't worth it and just caused too much stress.
Neither of them starved to death and they are both pretty good about eating now (aged 12 and 15). |

I have a granddaughter and grandson that will eat everything we give them, clean their plates and ask for more. And then I have another granddaughter and grandson who will only eat very few things. Different strokes.....
My 5 "kids" are all grown men (ages 28 to 39) so they eat whatever they want. Just glad I don't have to buy all their food anymore. Oh man, just thinking about my old grocery bills....ouch.....

I raised my kids to clean up their plate, just like my parents raised me. Now, the dietitian at the cardio center, puts a lot of the blame for our countries obesity, squarely on that rule.
Restaurants , both fast food and set down, are serving much larger portions. We eat it all, because those kids in India and China don't have it. |

My mom tried the starving children in China line on me when I was young. I told her that she could send it them.
That didn't go over so well. |

I can grill/cook a perfect chicken breast and add mash potatoes and green beans and they will basically get a bowl of ranch, eat the chicken and discard the potatoes and green beans.
