Aww seen this one before!

beansprout · 17/10/2006 21:11

Does he end up eating the sausage then?

This really upset me.

Why don't they get the litle boy to help with the cooking, he might be more interested if he has had a hand in making it and touching all the ingredients.

justamindlesszombiemum · 18/10/2006 00:03

what happened in the end? I couldn't watch any more after the mum shoved the yoghurt in that poor kids face- why in gods name have they not god to their gp- this is beyond normal?

Watched it till the end, Supernanny appears to have sorted out the child's eating problems with very little trouble at all.
(Whether the parents' marriage and the mother's aggression are so easily sorted out is another question )

flowertot · 18/10/2006 13:44

Yes I couldn't watch it either. How did she sort it in the end then? Was he actually food phobic or just a reaction to the mother|?

KathyDCLXVI · 18/10/2006 14:03

I don't know anything about food phobia so I'm not entirely sure, but it certainly looked like a reaction to the mother.
It was the usual Supernanny stuff: calming the whole family situation down with naughty step and ground rules incl no shouting. Then re the food, she made them all change to eating healthier food, instituted reward chart place mats so the kids got a sticker for eating each part of their meal(she explained the different food groups to the kids - starch, protein, veg etc) and got the parents to not pressurise the boy to eat - it was entirely down to him whether he ate and got the sticker or not, and they had to lighten up the tone of mealtimes by not talking about it. She also made them offer a choice of 2 healthy menus for the kids to choose from (giving them back a sense of control), got the boys cooking with the dad and gave the older one a tomato plant to look after.
Honestly it was incredible how quickly the food problem got sorted out once the mother stopped yelling, which is why I suspect it wasn't true food phobia.

I wish I'd seen this years ago when my DD was being a pain with her food issues... and NO I wasn't like the mum in SuperNanny.... But I could see where she was comming from! I took the easy way out and gave DD what she wanted as life was getting too stressful arround food...

My daughter saw the program as well and she was supprised when I said she was like that as a 2/3 year old.... she's 10 now and soooooo much better with eating....
