What To Do When Your Toddler Won’t Eat
Does it happen to you that you spend a lot of time on the dinner table because you kids won’t eat? Parenting Ideas has 10 facts on helping you to feed your toddler easily. There are also straight forward tricks to get this thing done:
7. If all things you have done don’t work, what about trying bribery treat. For this part, I don’t care about what some “experts” say it encourages kids to think ice-cream or cake is yummier than broccoli. Be realistic! Kids already know ice-cream is yummier than broccoli and in fact it is. As long as you don’t offer the treat every night in the same way, and your toddler eats the meal up. Sometimes the treat is a piece of cake, pineapple or melon, a funny joke or a game they like. Sometimes offer to take him/her for night-shopping (make sure you have no work that night).

There’s only one rule that matters:
9. When they’re hungry, they’ll eat.
Don’t give them sugary juices, kids need to drink water when they’re thirsty. Keep some reasonable snacks around, like carrot sticks, and leave the “real food” for real meal times. When you find some “real food” they like always have it around, but have them try new stuff ALL the time (the things a toddler likes are the things they’re going to eat fo the next 6 years or so, try to broaden their horizons).
Unless the kid is losing weight, you are just frustrating yourself trying to control their eating.
