How to get my young children to stop eating processed foods and willingly eat whole foods?
I used to work in a school, that was very strict with the children’s diet. And they were supposed to eat what the school offered, which was very good and amazing Delicious healthy food. Parents were not allowed to send them anything else. Most of the new children had a problem, they sometimes did not want to eat the food because they were not used to that. The solution it was to offer them the regular food, if they didn’t want to eat, then not to give something different, and wait for the next time they were hungry and offer the same food, and if they rejected again they would wait until the child asked for food again and offer the same until they decided to try and eat. Sometimes it would take a whole week to make them eat, but it worked. It is hard to see them crying,but if you offer something different, or put catchup, or cheese or give a desert they will learn bad habits, and grow into that believing that because I ate something healthy I can have an ice cream, rewards with food ar
