I bribed my 2 year old to eat his dinner.
He lives on toast and yoghurt.
I am very relaxed about it all (to him, inside I stress ) and give him a little of whatever we are eating and if (when!) it's not eaten I just take it away and say nothing.
But I just want him to eaaaaaaaaaaat.
I offered him a penny if he'd eat some scrambled eggs. He ended up eating it all and coming out about 18p the richer.
Can I get away with bribing him until he starts eating well with no bribes or are you all going to tell me to stop being a soft touch and just carry on as I was?
It was just so nice to see him eat!
