In this video, Jason goes over some things you want to make sure you are not doing with your toddler when they don't want to eat and then offers some thing you can do to get them to eat.
Mealtime is supposed to be enjoyable, not stressful and cause anxiety for you or your toddler.

I have a child that will refuse to eat until he becomes physically distressed, because he has grown so hungry, but then he can’t eat, because he is distraught. It is a constant battle to convince him to take a little time out to eat so that he can enjoy his time playing instead of becoming distressed and antisocial and unable to eat.

@davidoff-sensei1260 7 ай бұрын

What are you meant to do if they will not eat dinner for example, but then are hungry before bed. We have tried 2 options ... the 2 bad thats all you get option. (he just wont eat it and go to bed hungry) the other option is give him something else ... like cereal. At least he is fed ... but then that obviously just happens more often and he knows he to just do that. (almost 5 years old)

What if they refuse to eat what you made but keep crying that they’re hungry? We make VERY kid friendly meals and nothing funky. My kids just refuse to eat anything I make. I’ve tried cute shapes like halloween spider waffles with whipped cream and halloween sprinkles…they still won’t touch it. ☹️

So what do you do if they constantly refuse to eat at meal time, but later on say they're hungry thereby throwing off the family schedule because you need to stop and have another meal time for them?

@DadUniversity 2 жыл бұрын

Depends what age but their rythm and timing for eating may just simply be different than yours. While I agree family meal time is important, it is possible to have our bodies require different things at different times. Your options are to let them be hungry and they can wait for a meal, or let them eat when they need to and maybe they sit with the family during meals. The latter is not a great option. If I could skip dinner and then be given snacks when i want them I would probably choose that too, but it doesn't mean it's a good idea :)

Any advice when a child refuses a meal; she doesn’t appear hungry and is windshield wiping the tray. We end meal time, tray away and take our 21 month old out of the chair to go play while the other twin finishes her meal. Then we offer milk after the meal is over, usually a half cup to both twins. Should we still offer the milk to the twin who refused the meal?

@DadUniversity 11 ай бұрын

No, don't offer the milk to the twin who refused. She likely isn't hungry which is ok.
