My kids' diets are atrocious! Fast food, sodas, chips and sweets are the staples yet they complain about how they look and feel. I can't get them to eat a piece of fruit or a single vegetable and still they complain as they gorge on junk. I want them to take better care of themselves and to feel better but I can't get them to change. What to do?
Easy folks. It may be best to ease your kids into better nutrition. Try peanut butter on an apple. Peanut butter on celery. Peanut butter on a WHOLE grain piece of bread (my favorite is oatmeal) with a little honey. PB is one of the easiest "healthier" foods to get a kid to eat. Also, get your kids involved in the kitchen. A friend of mine has a called "Kids in the Kitchen." It's run through the Junior League.....http://kidsinthekitchen.ajli.org/ Try looking there for some insight and help. Can't hurt.
My apologies - I just think we have a big problem with our kids these days and it astounds and frustrates me when it seems parents are at a loss for how to parent their kids. Parents should be the authorities and run the show - like I do
I work in a nationally recognized Level I Trauma Center, not a po-dunk trailer park clinic, and yes, I am usually cranky, ma'am.
