Parenting Tuesday: Picky Kids

Image may contain: food 

Raise your hand if you have picky kids!! 🙋🏼‍♀️ My oldest is sooooo picky. If I would let him eat chips and candy all day, he would. Whenever it is meal time he has absolutely zero interest in eating and I end up wasting tons of food and time. It’s so frustrating! I’ve gone back and forth because i want him to have a good relationship with food. I have tried just letting him have a few bites, bribing, saving leftovers and making him eat them later, the list goes on. But once I got this awesome game board tray, the game was changed. Scotty loves surprises and he loves games and rewards. So it was perfect! I always put the main course in the first two spaces, he has to eat the spaces in order to get to the next one and finally to the FINISH which is a treat! He likes me to surprise him with what I give him to eat, and if there is too much of something he just tells me and I let him move on if it’s reasonable. Works like a charm you guys!! I will put the link to the tray in our profile! Here are some things I put in his tray:


🍌 lunch meat, sandwich, quesadilla, chicken Dinos
🍌 cheese, berries, cuties, apples, grapes
🍌 carrots, cucumbers 🥒
🍌 crackers, veggie straws, chips
🍭 And always a treat at the end!
