Who’s in charge of food?

Who’s in charge?

There are many times when I am debating an issue with my teen or tween and start to wonder who is actually in charge!! We have raised these fabulous children full of independent thoughts, intelligence and the ability to analyse and argue a point. Then they take those skills and turn them on us 😊

What if we have a picky eater?

When we have a child that is a picky eater and especially when they are little, in age or weight or stature, this can become an area where we gradually start to give over control. It often happens without us even realising it and is always done with the best of intentions.

Our child finds food uncomfortable and we want to make it easy for them. We’re also worried, often on a daily basis about what they’re eating so want to make sure they get enough food.

We blink and suddenly they seem to be in charge of eating.

This can be really challenging, especially if we want to make changes because *cough*, hello, who is in charge?

Who should be in charge — and where and why?:

1. I am in charge of what I buy. My boys are absolutely allowed input but final decision — yep, me! The choice as to what gets eaten really can start this…
