This weeks topic: What is your child's favorite and least favorite foods? Are you Happy about it? What do you do to promote a diverse palate?
Fitting huh? I didn't even know this was going to be the topic when I wrote this post. Am that good, clearly.
Favorite food of G - fruit. carbs. puffs. she is a freaking puff-a-holic. But for real, she lurves her some fruit. All fruit. Am pleased.
Least favorite food of G - veggies. In fact, she dislikes veggies so much at the current moment that I can't even hide them in other food (like french fries...) because she will magically eat everything in her mouth BUT the veggie, stick her tongue out with it on there and then gag. Yes. I am serious. I think this talent is genetic as
I am totally happy about her choice to love all things fruit. I am not happy about her dislike of veggies, clearly.
We try to just give her some of everything at every meal. I don't force food on her, but I do make her try everything even if she spit it out the last time we had it. As we have discussed, I want her to have a more diverse palate and open to any and all suggestions on how to make this a succes!

Okay, I know it sucks, but I'm glad to hear someone else has at least a slight picky eater with the no veggies thing. Um, and I totally relate to the gagging. In both my son AND my husband. Yep, you read that right.
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, both of my kids love both fruits and veggies. Meat is the problem at our house.
ReplyDeleteOh the puffs! I remember them all too well as we went through about a billion and one (ok, maybe not *quite* that many) containers of them. And I remember maybe sneaking a few of them as well, lol. I wish Livi was more of a fruit eater now though...
ReplyDeleteI think the "try everything" is such a good idea. I'll remember that when A hits the picky stage. She also eats fruit like it is going out of style. Which is alright with me.
