I grew up experiencing food insecurity, as it’s called nowadays, and it’s been one of the most gratifying things of my parenting experience to know that my kids have never had to experience that. It’s also what motivated me to start volunteering at a local food pantry 20+ years ago when they were very small.

Clever five-step strategy: 1 - He shows that he is hungry and that it is necessary and pleasant, that it constitutes a break. 2 - He shows and makes her smell the basil, he awakens her senses and suggests. 3 - He eats in front of her with appetite, expressing his pleasure. 4 - He does not give her the plate so that she can eat, but so that she can keep it for him. 5 - He doesn't tell her to eat, he asks her to keep some for him. He acts like it's normal for her to eat. The little girl is free to make her decision, she does not eat because she has to but because he showed her that it is a pleasure, a moment of peace in the hustle and bustle of his work. He didn't give her spaghetti, he gave her a moment of peace and pleasure in her world of pain.

2a - He makes her engage in the making of the food by picking the basil. This works like a charm on my kids as well. They actually proudly explain to their little sister how it's all prepared. Helps all of them eat.

I lived this life, this was my childhood, my dad was an executive chef, and never saw him, so after school my mom would take me to my dad, and I would sit in the kitchen and see him cook and all his cooks loved me, and when they’d see me just sitting one would sit next to me and eat their food, and handed it to me once they had to cook.

Don't let them guard your food unless your ulterior motive is to get them to eat it.

When I was 8 I had an aversion to food after I nearly died choking on a piece of beef, like, had to be resuscitated once the EMTS came and had to spend some time in the hospital. I couldn’t swallow, and was terrified of solid food. I could only handle little sips of smoothies and even then didn’t feel hungry, started to lose weight fast. My mother was worried that we’d have to get a feeding tube or something put in. My brother, who had come home from rehab, makes the best chicken noodle soup. He made some, sat next to me on the couch and devoured an entire mug, got some more, and left it on the coffee table. Then he went to his room. I think it was the pressure of everyone wanting me to eat that psyched myself out, I started spiraling. He showed me there was nothing to be afraid of, and left me alone to take the pressure off. That soup was the first thing I properly ate in 6 months afterwards. This scene is feels like a retelling of that snippet of my life and I cry every time.

this reminds me of something i went through when i was 11. there was a mishap with a peanut, and for a long time after that, i refused to eat a lot of foods i used to be completely fine with. at one point, they even had to put me on protein milkshakes to help me gain weight because i wasn't growing properly. it took years before i was able to re-enjoy some of those foods :')

Did the same with my niece, very picky eaters wouldn't eat anything her mom made, making my cousin and aunt worry. So I started eating chicken wings in front of her. Next thing I know she ate half my lunch.😅 miscalculated how much she can eat. left me a little hungry, searching for more food.

I used to work for Dunbar. My partner and I would go to a bbq on Friday for lunch, and I'd always get more brisket than I needed, so I could have some for supper. One night my 3 year old sat on my lap eating brisket with me. I had about 1.5 lbs that I brought home and I swear she ate more of it than I did. One night I fixed her 5 eggs over easy, one after the other. It's funny because sometimes they'll take 3 bites and be "I'm full." Other times you want to check to see if they actually have a hollow leg.

What this scene hints at but doesn't quite get is that bringing kids into the kitchen early on is a great idea for their development! Instead of just seeing this finished meal at the table full of stuff they know they nothing about and tend to be suspicious of, they should see how the ingredients get cut up, combined, cooked together, etc to make the finished product. Unfortunately so many parents have too much work and don't have the proper time to bring their kids in the kitchen, they're just trying to get dinner made if their not eating out already.

@MlleRose020

I've been able to get my picky nephew to eat stuff he would never touch at home, because when he comes over preparing food is one of the activities we do together. I always tell him right off the bat "you don't have to eat any of it after if you don't want, I'll make you pasta/rice/something bland he likes and I'll eat what we've made", but throughout the cooking I will make him taste each ingredient and have some control over what we do ("shall we add more salt? how about we mix those in the pan so the tastes mix?"). By the time we set the table, he feels confident that he actually likes the taste of everything that went into the dish, and eats it with me enthusiastically. My sister is always so impressed x'D but it makes sense: little kids are not familiar with a lot of food when they start, and any adult would be at least hesitant to try a dish without knowing what went in it. By involving our children into the cooking process, we allow them to familiarize themselves with a variety of ingredients, spice etc. Resulting in them being able to face meals with confidence and knowledge instead of the obligation to eat something they can't even identify.

We did this with our kids; grew a garden so they'd know where food comes from and then had them in the kitchen helping make meals. We'd also "disguise" the name of some foods to something more familiar to get them to eat it. Thai Satay Chicken became, "chicken on a stick," and they loved nearly all vegetables because we always roasted them and never steamed them.

Same thing with fried rice for me. It's my foolproof dish. I can eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I can make it luxurious or simple. I can clean my fridge with it and give a rebirth for any leftover. I cook it whenever I have no time to prepare more elaborate meal for my guests but still want to leave a good impression. I cook it for my son whenever he is being picky. It's a dish for every occasion and every mood. I guess fried rice is spaghetti's Asian cousin.

He is perfection in this role.

Classic developmental psychology principle: Before they reach puberty, a child will always have an instinct to copy what they see. This is how our dad would get us to eat or take a break for nap time. He never forced us to do anything, he just did it and we would follow suit. Doesn't work all the time but try pretending to be asleep in front of your kid the next time they won't nap.

I took my kids to the farmers market and we would pick out the ingredients for the week, they tell me it was their favorite memories. Also they could dislike something, just swap out something they did like.

Enticing the sense of smell is the most important thing for appetite. They should smell it long before they can taste it. He captures this precisely by getting her to take in the fragrance of basil. Then teases her visually while he eats. All this will get the hunger going really good. Last but most important - Don’t push her to eat rather give her some respectable space and time. 😊

Man, Harvey was such a great guy until half of his face burned off.

The detail I like is when he gives her that "hey did you know" story about ancient rome, he's using a tactic I've seen others employ when talking to children, to help them engage in the conversation. It's to intentionally get something wrong, that you know the kid KNOWS is wrong, so they can speak up and correct you. So they can be more proactive in the conversation, instead of just passively listening and replying. They can provide input themselves. Blizzard did something similar in their cinematic for Kiriko, about a year ago. One of the character's is a young deaf girl, who is wearing a japanese fox mask on her head, and Kiriko intentionally calls her a rabbit, so the girl can correct her. Kiriko knows it's a fox mask for....a LOT of reasons, but she knows the girl doesn't actually speak to too many people (they're using sign language), so she's trying to give her as engaging of a conversation as possible.
