lol about the fishfingers comment.
I love fish, and my kiddies bar DD2 do also.
but MY version of loving fish is steamed salmon and seafood mixed with pasta, but the children will insist upon tuna with their pasta (we go thro soooooo many tins of tune a week!), and fishfingers when I have the salmon.
I tho, as a child, remember HATING salmon and seafood, but as a teen, my tastes changed. (they aslo changed when I learnt how to cook them properly tho, as my aunts skills {she bought me up}, were rather lacking in the cooking dept. she was not goodbeing a icky face!).
I am finding that the constant offering of said food means tho that my children are willing to try, even if they do prefer the 'less strong' fish. altho, as an aside, my DS2 prefers his fishfingers 'peeled', so am silently praying that when he is re-offered steamed fish again he will have learnt his tastes properly.
but yes, it is down to educating in a positve way about food, as the current way of force is alienating and will only manage to backfire with parents rebeling and how is that helpful? it isn't.....the parents will sadly ruin their childrens health for the sake of "I'LL raise my kids any damn way I please thankyou very much" mentality!
