If you keep it up, I'm sure your new habits will change your children's diets. <BR/><BR/>I am very sorry if my post offended you. Trust me when I say I don't live in Pleasantville. I, like all parents, have made lots of mistakes, and will continue to make mistakes and hopefully learn from them. Neither our family or our kids are perfect.<BR/><BR/>We have been fortunate, though, that our methods in this area of parenting have yielded relatively open-minded eaters. But our kids' diets are not perfect either. As I mentioned, they eat dessert every night, they sometimes eat junk foods, McDonalds and pre-cooked meals, and only a small portion of what we eat is organic. Overall, though, we hope we are providing them with a healthy, balanced diet.<BR/><BR/>My hope is that by sharing how we get our kids to eat just about anything I can help others who struggle with picky eaters - without having to take a lot of extra time consuming measures.<BR/><BR/>I'm certain that there are areas that I struggle with where I would benefit from your parenting techniques.<BR/><BR/>I would love it if you would share an area of parenting that you feel you've been particularly successful with.<BR/><BR/>My biggest struggle right now is the seemingly constant arguing between my 6-year-old and 4-year-old boys. Any advice?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by...I hope you visit again.<BR/><BR/>AlisonWellness KIDShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17413690104873798434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888269774800169742.post-31948526031873264752009-01-11T07:29:00.000-10:002009-01-11T07:29:00.000-10:00I am so happy to hear there are perfect families w...I am so happy to hear there are perfect families with perfect little eaters out there. We are an active family who prefer to be outside.<BR/>I initially made the mistake of trusting the food industry and got caught in the trap. Unfortunately, my children think that tyson chicken nugget chicken is real chicken and that regular chicken is some kind of poison. I've stopped making special meals and my children must try at least one new food a night. We are also on the move to in season and more organic foods. Whether or not our new habits will change our children's diets is yet to be seen. Off to another website that will offer support and encouragement as we move forward.

I applaud my child's preschool, though. He came home saying "You get what you get and you don't make a fuss!" I love it!
