You Can Lead a Child to Food, but You Can't Make Her Eat
Abbie's menu for the day:
Cereal (not eaten)
Mandarin oranges (Tory ate most of them)
Granola bar (Abbie carried it off to the backyard, so I don't know if she ate it)
Chips (1-2 servings)
Spaghetti
Chocolate milk (1 glass)
Abbie has a horrible diet. I suppose I'm to blame (partly), so I'm cracking down on the snacks. Notice that I limited the chips and sweets. When Abbie asks for a snack, I usually offer something healthy, which she of course rejects. This leads to her frequently telling me she's hungry. I respond by telling her that's because she won't eat what I offer her. Hopefully it sinks in eventually.
