has anyone made radical changes to improve /widen their kids' diet?
Two of my three (6,4,3 ) are limited in what they will eat.(fruit, bread, tuna fish, cheese, corn on he cob, mashed potatoes,pasta , pesto, chicken,meat, eggs, mince, breakfast cereal,broccoli and carrots sometimes, frozen peas, )They also like less healthy stuff (jelly, ice cream, chocolate, burgers, chicken nuggets) which they get at my mils house and sometimes from their dad but I try hard only to give healthy nosh albeit from a limited repertoir.
I would like them to widen their tastes a bit without making them miserable or giving them eating disorders.However they recoil at the idea of eating anything as complicated as a chicken casserole or a stir fry with a mixture of vegetables.
I laugh my head off at Anabel Karmel type suggestions for childrens food. My kids would rather starve .
Do any of you serve up new stuff, have the kids refuse to eat it and then give nothing till the next meal? Assuming you would not have to do this more than a couple of times!
