- April 22, 2006, 06:19:24 PMI don't think I'm in the position to offer any good advice cause my sons still a fussy eater and I had to do all sorts of things to get him to eat, like make designs out of his food, cut them into cute shapes etc, and hide the vegetables by mashing them up somehow :o........and I always had the TV on for him to keep him happy which is a big no no :oo because at 8yrs old he still has to have the TV on while eating, even just a snack.
My son use to start coughing and try and bring up something he didn't want to eat too, but I stopped that from happening and told him if he vomited no TV for the rest of the night , and that worked . ;)
I can say it does get better as they get older, he is slowly tasting new things he never wanted before and finds he likes them.
Good luck ;::

I completely agree with tossing the food (Which I know gets frustrating) and not giving him other options. Two thumbs up, and anytime you need to vent, you know we're all here, and half of us have been there!

- April 22, 2006, 10:13:31 AMYou've had a lot of good tips here and hopefully you can make some of them work for you. I know it has to be frustrating when you can't get your child to eat and they throw it up. Hopefully it will be over soon. Good luck to you. ;)

- April 22, 2006, 10:05:48 AMI do know that a child is not gonna starve themselves. I think in his particular case he just does not have an appetite at dinner time. He always eats all of his breakfast and lunch. We don't typically do snacks during the day unless we've been very active that day, or if the kids say they are hungry, then everyone gets a snack. He's still a little too young to understand rewards. He's just barely getting to the point where he'll understand punishments. You know boys don't put 2 and 2 together as easily as girls in most cases, LOL. Anyways, all I did last night, after he threw up I tossed away his food and then we went out and were out till bedtime. He didn't get another chance to eat all night, and didn't complain about being hungry. I don't plan on sitting around the house all night waiting for him to eat. He will get the idea that if he doesn't eat at dinner, he won't have another chance to, so if he's hungry, he better start eating.
Limiting the drinks is a good idea I have not tried yet. The kids do drink a lot during the day. I will try not to give them drinks near dinner time and see if that helps at all. Thanks to all!! :;"

- April 22, 2006, 08:34:22 AMMy daughter is 5 now, and we've always had major battles over food. The kid is stubborn. I've tried EVERYTHING under the sun to get her to try different foods. She would always fight til the bitter end, then take a bite and immediately start gagging. Our doctor sent us to a nutritionist and we found out that she was getting all of her nutritional needs met through the limited foods she did like, so I pretty much gave up.
The nutritionist explained to her that everyone's taste buds are different and that when you grow up your tastebuds change - so if you don't like something today, you might like it tomorrow.
We sit down together at the beginning of the week and plan meals together. I let her help me prepare our meals too. We serve our meals family style now. She has to put some of everything on her plate at meal time. If it is something she doesn't like, she puts a 'no thank you' bite on her plate. The more control she has over her meals, the more willing she is to try new foods. In the past two weeks, she's tried and liked broccoli, cauliflower and cream cheese.

- April 22, 2006, 07:44:53 AMI have the same problem with my 3 year old. He refuses to eat. He says he's never hungry. I have limited snacks, etc.
I'm told they will eat when they're hungry, but in my case he never does.

- April 22, 2006, 05:04:58 AMI can offer the same advice my doctor gave me some 34 years ago. Give the child their meals and if they dont eat only give them water. He said I have never had one starve and they soon learn to eat . All children will have likes and dislikes and you should be able to pick up on those. I cant stand liver or veal. Hope this helped

My biggest challenge with both of my girls now is keeping them from drinking their meals (they both like to load up on milk, juice, or water before the meal begins).
What I did with mine when they were small is, I wouldn't give them anything to drink, at the begining of the meal. I waited till they had eaten at least some of the food on thier plate. Then gave them thier drink. That worked for me.

- April 21, 2006, 05:32:06 PMmy 3 year old grand daughter does the same thing, except for the throwing up. Anyway, my daughter will keep her plate at the table after dinner for a while, incase she decides to eat, if not she throws it away. And she is fine till breakfast the next day.

I refused to make more than one meal. And she had to sit politely at the table while everyone else enjoyed their dinner. This was not an option. If she got crabby or fussy, she had to go to her room - no TV, no toys - and wait until everyone else was done to come out. I only had to do that twice for her to realize I meant what I said, and after that she would sit politely at the table while we ate. Once she realized that I wasn't going to give in (And omgosh it was sooo hard not to give in) she started trying things on her plate. There were alot of things she didn't like .. and there were a few things she would like. For example .. she didn't like broccoli. So when I was making broccoli for everyone else, I would only put a very small piece on her plate - it made the point that she had to eat a small amount, but I understood she didn't like it and wasn't going to make her eat alot of it. I would reward her with letting her pick a game to play after dinner, or maybe (in your case) pick which way you go for a walk that night.
yes that works wonderfully. He gets a morning snack and an afternoon snack and desseret. Your choice. And when you fix meals, if he doesn't want to eat then to bad. He can just go hungry. If he whines about being hungry later you can tell him he had a chance to eat with everyone else now he has to wait until the next snack time or meal time. Also sending them to their room and taking away toys and such works great.
