    with the scissors , it's a hack for life. before sitting on the table i even cut all of MY meat at once with a pair so i won't have to do it as i eat haha. Also, get multiples, ikea has that colourful pack with 3, get some sets and keep it in a cup on the counter for easy access. I've washed them multiple times on the dishwasher and they look new.

    I tired the 'no thank you' bowl with my 2yo twins tonight. They aren't too picky but definately have their moments. Tonight was a moment. While I was explaining the bowl process to them, hubby's said that us a great idea, where did you find that? All while I was telling him about your video, miss 2 tried some of her fave veggies and said "no thank you mummy, I don't like it" tipped the whole plate into the bowl and said 'no thank you, not tonight' 🥴 Mr 2 the n copied and they both walked away hand in hand. I guess we will try again tomorrow. Thank you for sharing the idea.

    My stepson of 9 is incredibly picky about food, I hope these hacks will reduce my stress concerning mealtimes… he literally won’t try anything new, he always want the same foods/textures and none of them are healthy choices… the only way I can control it a bit is by sneaking in hidden veggies in my spaghetti sauce or use less sugar in my homemade apple sauce instead of using store bought… I know I probably shouldn’t blame his mother but it actually is her fault… she only gives him pre-made packaged meals, junkfood and unhealthy options… I really hope he’ll turnout like his father - my husband - bc he loves every single dish I put in front of him… even things he has never had before ; he devoured everything since we moved in together! Such a joy to cook for him ❤

    it can be hard to transition their taste buds at first if they are use to only packaged foods as they usually contain more salt and sugars to make them extra tasty. Definitely try the snack plate and showing food combinations to intro new foods.

    @@surlespasdondine not true. Kids go through picky stages because they’re figuring out they have power to say no over situations. And this is all developmental for her, she’ll be over it in no time. but the more you feed into their “pickyness” the more control they learn over you as a parent and at meal times. Parents go to these extents because they’re worried their child isn’t eating which is understandable. It’s also important for parents to view it as a great milestone in childrens development and learning how to say no. Why force and entice a child with a bunch of finger food snacks if they don’t want to eat. If they’re hungry they’ll eat what you feed them, if they don’t want a certain meal, they’ll learn to be hungry and offer it again in 30 min or an hour or whenever they’re ready to eat. In my case it’s nourishing real whole food meals for my family. For both my 3yo & 1yo.

When you’re really hungry do you like when people ask what you want to eat or wouldn’t it just be easier if someone put food in front of you or gave 2 options instead of 1000?
