Re: To readers: help with links for finicky children?
I'm a mother of 2 young chldren, who eat nothing but pure vegetarian diet.
Here's what you can do if you want your daughter to stop eating animal protein and junk food.
***** Don't bring any of it home.******
***** Get used to daily cooking. ******
***** Make sure you never eat junk in front of your daughter.****
Find some good vegetarian recipies and buy some fresh fruit and veggies. (Grilled cheese sandwich is not vegetarian and it's not healthy). Offer them to your daughter.
First, things may get tought for a little while, - she may refuse to eat at all and will cry. Be strong and patient. Don't sceam or force. Just wait.
As soon as your daughter becomes really hungry, she'll give it a try. (Guaraneed).
Buy a good juicer and start juicing every morning. Don't buy soda or bottled juices. Make sure you always have plenty of bottled spring water in small bottles.
No candy, ice cream or cookies. Offer fruits instead.
This works.
Once again - be strong. Good luck.
