Each message I read in the forum was a little different because everyone has their own opinions and experiences. One was written by a parent that had twins so both were raised the same, but one twin was extremely picky when it came to meal time and the other ate anything in sight. The parent explained that the picky eater twin ended up being diagnosed with adhd/asd. So that parents experience was clearly pointing toward the child being born that way.
A lot of other message were quite opposite. All about making children eat all the food on the plate or they go to bed hungry!
Hello Kendra,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing that forum. It's definitely an interesting topic or shall I say argument. Every mom has different opinions about that for sure. I, on the other hand, raised in an Asian Home, we do not get to choose what we eat, we were served food and we MUST finish it or we get punished or go to bed hungry (either way). While, this is common for our culture, my husband thinks otherwise, he believes in giving our little one variety of options (well, she likes this he says). So we try to meet in the middle (I guess). And I'm learning to balance that kind of parenting style too (",)
Thanks again for sharing this!
xoxo,
Mama Bear
Hey Mama Bear,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. That is a great difficulty a lot of families have to deal with. Parents have to give and take a little and figure out what is going to work best for their own family. It can be hard because certain routines and such have been instilled in us since we were young. Learning to compromise is key.
