One of the things that parents always worry about is getting their kids to eat. When they are babies and are drinking milk, it’s easy. When they are first weaned onto that mushy pap they call solids, it’s still easy, because most of the time, they’re not strong enough to avoid eating at least some of what you push into their mouths. But when they take control of their own feeding, something changes, and it can last for quite a while.

All of a sudden your kids develop very vocal opinions on their food - and I can tell you that they get louder and more descriptive the older they get. Rather than just spitting it out, they may say yuk, disgusting or any other words that they have gleaned from their frends’ repertoires.  You need to be ever more creative to keep them eating something healthy at regular intervals. I’ll be describing some of the methods we have tried over the next few posts.
