Is your child a fussy eater? Then this mother has a message for you

But does she mind? No, it is not.

Resistance

For years, Katie worried when her son didn’t eat vegetables again. Is he getting enough vitamins? Is it growing well? And does he get strong resistance this way? ‘I’ve tried everything with him. I let him sit at the table until he finished his plate, but he sat for so long that he fell asleep. I begged, got angry, and went for the ‘soft’ approach, but nothing worked. ‘ Katie now knows one thing for sure: difficult eaters don’t make a fuss around the table because they want to be annoying, they often really don’t like it. So let your child starve to dinner or let him taste beans for the hundredth time? Save yourself the trouble.

Relationship improved

Now, fourteen years later, I’ve accepted that my son is a picky eater – he doesn’t even eat pizza if it has sauce on it, because that’s ‘not his thing’. But you know, I’m letting go. Some parents may now think it’s bad that I let my son eat whatever he wants, but it has only improved our relationship. He’s old enough to feed himself and I’m not going to push food down his throat or punish him if he doesn’t eat something. Who knows, as soon as he gets older he will notice that healthy eating is good for your body, but I will not force him. And that works great for us. ‘
