Picky Eating Role Play with Dr. Laura Markham
When you’ve put together a beautiful meal for your child – balanced it just so, and they say “yuck” (heart drops). Man that sucks. I’m putting Dr. Laura Markham‘s theories to the test! I act out a 4 year old, refusing dinner and she responds with her peaceful parenting approach.
Love this! Great acting 🙂 !
2 scenarios we have are:
A) 2 year old will eat just the meat then say “all done”. Veggies don’t get eaten and he doesn’t ask for anything else- then asks for extra milk at bedtime to fill up. How would you deal with this?
B). 4 year old says “that looks disgusting. I’m not hungry” then insists he is not hungry no matter what I say!
Both of them also play with their food and start making a mess / throwing things on the floor during meal time if they are not eating it and bored. Help!! 🙂
I loved the video. In my house the alternative is fruit, but then he has to wait for the next meal. I love the idea of it being something they make themselves. Yogurt could also be a good idea.
My son actually asked me for “hot food please mommy” after a few days of eating only fruit.
I love this. This sounds like my 5 year old during most meals. Thanks for the tips.
