Make your plate of food and then eat it in front of your child. If they are anything like my 3 year old they will help you eat it. lol

    Yes ma'am! I hear ya. My 2 year old barely eats anything til you give up and let her down. Then it's "I wanna bite" and of course you're not gonna tell her no.

    I hope this isn't a recurring act in your household. I can't stand it when children beg their parents for food.

    I started using a smaller plate, like a salad plate for all meals. It gets full looking very fast with smaller portions, and you can feel good when you clean your plate!

    Cut out bread a milk from your diet, if you are like me then that will drop 600 calories a day easy.

    And adults dont need milk. In fact anyone over about 8 years old doesnt need milk.

    ALso use a small plate for dinner. Makes you look like you have a big portion :)

    Ugh. People. I'm not sure how sharing your food with your child constitutes teaching them to "beg." Grasp stick firmly and remove from butt...

    And getting your child to eat is more important when they are younger than manners. That can come later. I am sure the person that said that was not talking about a teenager!

    she wasn't talking about "getting her child to eat" she was talking about reducing her own over-eating by eating in front of her child so that he/she begs for her food. Yeah, real smart.
