Recently my five year old son Luke decided to make dinner time a challenge for his mother and I. No matter what we make or how much we put on his plate, he just doesn't want to eat.
At breakfast this kid will eat multiple servings. Today he had four waffles. He will eat pancakes, oatmeal, cereal, eggs, muffins and toast. It doesn't matter the day, he loves breakfast. For some reason dinner time just doesn't bring the same enthusiasm. The first thing out of his mouth is usually "Ohhhhh, I don't like this kind of chicken" followed closely by "how many bites?". Other famous quotes "what's this green stuff?", "my tummy hurts", "am I finished", "why are you done and I have to keep eating?". Obviously because you haven't ate anything yet Luke. While we were eating, you were complaining. While we were trying to enjoy dinner, you were whining. Now we have to sit here with you for another 20 minutes while you take tiny bites and ask if you are done.
We aren't doing anything differently. Things he ate previously he doesn't want anymore. Some things he will eat one day but not the next.
Does anyone else have a child who hates to eat?
Does anyone have any tips or tricks?
