They'll finish what they chose and they say something along the lines of "I decided I don't like cookies. I would like a piece of candy instead." Makes me laugh every time... even if I don't cave in!Quadmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811147214370454309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-61111564253875964012010-04-13T21:00:05.619-06:002010-04-13T21:00:05.619-06:00I'll have to file this one away.

So far, so good in the willing-to-try-new-foods department, but I realize that may not last forever.<br /><br />Like you, our kids don't have to finish a meal to get a little dessert. However, dessert comes in a finite quantity. There are no seconds. If you're still hungry, go back to the plate and eat your food!reanbeanhttp://www.reanbean.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-65216542499309022912010-04-13T19:04:04.280-06:002010-04-13T19:04:04.280-06:00Clever.

She thought saying "no thank you" would get her out of eating anything new... but at least she's slowly starting to try new things.Quadmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811147214370454309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-86311689392917032942010-04-13T12:49:30.028-06:002010-04-13T12:49:30.028-06:00Hooray for Sue Sue trying new things!

I'm trying to teach her that, if she doesn't like something, she can just leave it on her plate WITHOUT making a big scene about how she doesn't like it!MaryAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253503049272771754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-83290230958921590382010-04-13T12:16:35.089-06:002010-04-13T12:16:35.089-06:00The one bite rule works okay with Melody, my picky...The one bite rule works okay with Melody, my picky one. Jess, on the other hand, will try almost anything, but if I force the one bite issue with the few things she refuses, she throws up.Sadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042551936789254047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-90844140113567333462010-04-13T10:42:36.998-06:002010-04-13T10:42:36.998-06:00We traveled a lot around the U.S. and South Americ...We traveled a lot around the U.S. and South America when I was growing up, and the "one bite rule" was my parents' way of making sure that my brother and I didn't offend our hosts. Great rule ... and congrats on finding a way for Sue Sue to try new things! :)Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840344673676769749noreply@blogger.com
