I too have been having problems with my chi...Wow... I too have been having problems with my child. He is skin and bones. The doctor has told me that he is okay and that I should not compare him to the size of the others. He too gives me a hard time with his food. He is such a picky eater. About three weeks ago I got really upset with him. (this is sneaky) I told him don't worry I called the doctor and I explained to him that you are not eating enough protein so I am going to take you to his office every week for an injection. He started to cry and I told him don't worry it is only once a week. WELL, you should see him eating more and more now. He will even ask me, does this have protein?<br>It is funny. Sometimes as parents we have to do subtle things to get big results. <br>Hang in there in with your little one, I know how frustrating it can be. She will come around. *Louise*<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991415371219936859.post-15886481491144124232005-05-13T09:38:00.000-07:002005-05-13T09:38:00.000-07:00Oh, I have been so there!

I think the doctor is right, as Bubba expanded what he ate as he and his appetite grew. And I'm not too worried about Bug, cause she still likes lots of good foods. I try to make sure there is one thing on each menu that each person truly likes. I help the portions according to their likes. Tell them to eat until they are full. Have to try everything to get a second helping of anything. And if I don't like the amount you ate, or you ask too soon after supper.....you don't get desert. lol <br><br>I think the most important thing is just for you and hubby to sit down and get on the same page as to what to do, whatever you do. Otherwise you'll be reinforcing that divide and conquer works! - Barbara<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991415371219936859.post-84576400474288407262005-05-13T09:42:00.000-07:002005-05-13T09:42:00.000-07:00WEll Todds boys once did this to me. They did not ...WEll Todds boys once did this to me. They did not eat till they ate what was for dinner. I mean they pretty much had lunch or breakfast waht they wanted but dinner they ate waht they got.great grand Momma always said begreatful for potatoes every day and hog fat it will get you thru all winter. Eat it or die or die eating it but die full warm and healthy looking. So there should only be five things a kid will not eat or refuses to eat. Let them pick the five and other than that they eat waht everyone else does. They are not better than the rest of the world. So they get breakfast free and lunch free but dinner is on me. SEe the deal. If they dont eat dinner that night like they are suppose to they eat it for breakfast if not breakfast then lunch. Believe me a hungry kid wont wait. now those boys try anything and will eat most stuff. Todd even learned watching his boys he thought he hated green beans , salad and broccolie. Now he finds he does like them. not his favorite meal but he likes them. He said he wished his mom had the rules I had growing up from great grandmomma nad that i instilled in our kids. Its not embarassing to take my kids to peoples houses becuase they eat most of whats offered unless its against our beliefs such as pork. Then there is a reason But let her pick five foods she does not have ot eat. YOu ll be amazed and she will thank you when she grows up if you do this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991415371219936859.post-36940363497778610272005-05-15T16:13:00.000-07:002005-05-15T16:13:00.000-07:00my daughter too doesnt have the attention span to ...my daughter too doesnt have the attention span to eat lol.<br>Yours is normal.
