I lived among Indian people years ago - my ex husband is Hindu and we lived with his parents and extended family for 5 years. They never made their toddlers eat curry.....the children were all given bland foods that they liked. They were able to choose to eat curry when they were ready, and the children's food did not contain chillies or hot spices. We used to make a separate chicken fried rice for the kids or chicken chop suey and rice pudding for after dinner and they loved it.

I don't believe that food is something that should ever be forced upon a child. Just because we're the adults, we are bigger and stronger, this gives us no right to make a child eat something they aren't comfortable eating. As adults we certainly wouldn't. Nor would we find it okay if someone said "Sit there and eat this or that!" Food being a primal need can have very negative and even damaging psychological effects on children if it is used in the wrong way. Of course, it's important for children to eat healthy, to sit politely at the table even if something is being served that they don't enjoy. That's where being a parent comes in.

I wouldn't make the child eat food she doesn't like. My parents used to do that with us when we were kids. We would be made to sit for hours and told we would get the cold mushy revolting boiled over salted cabbage and celery and broad beans shoved down our throat with a shovel or we would get it again for breakfast. I used to hide it in my pocket and flush it sown the loo, or sneak ti the back door and throw it over the fence into the neighbours compost pile. As an adult I have never eaten cabbage, broad beans and celery again. I feel sick at the thought of them. I also never forced my kids to eat thinks they didn't like. I let them choose their breakfast cereals and other things they liked when shopping at the supermarket. It just causes unnecessary stress having these constant battles with kids for no good reason. They don't starve and they are healthy as they are.......

I had a friend who told me her daughter screamed for the first three years of her life. When she turned three, it was as if a switch had been flicked and she was delightful. I asked her if this was why her daughter was an only child. She replied it was exactly the reason!!

I have psoriasis- the thought of anything inflammatory is dreadful. I was a spicy food eater for 50 years but when psoriasis hit me I can’t touch it. The beautiful little girl needs the Dr Gundry diet!!!

I’m 32 years old and unfortunately I’m a picky eater. It’s honestly something I hate about myself. They say your taste buds are supposed to change every 7 years…I’m pretty sure I eat the same way I have since I was 7 years old 😅 I try things all the time, I just simply don’t like them. I eat a large variety of different foods, I just eat everything plain. I’m really weird with sauces and dips and dressings (I don’t even like ketchup). I so badly wish I could just eat a simple salad and enjoy it, but I don’t like lettuce 😩 I totally feel for Anisa being terrified of curry, I’m sure she was forced to eat some and it’s just simply too spicy for her and now she’s scared because she associates it with that pain of the spice 🥺 I’m sure that they are receiving a lot of pressure from their families as well because for them curry is a cultural staple. I know she mentioned that she has a younger niece that will eat curry fine so I bet that is adding even more pressure from family that the younger niece will eat curry but their daughter will throw a tantrum at the sight of it 🥺 I’m really glad this family came to the house and I’m hoping that they will get the guidance and understanding they need to help little Anisa not feel so pressured about curry. One day she may eat it on her own and love it, or she may not and that’s okay too 💕

Sherry Bailey, mom of Todd & Tamsind spends more time slumped down on the sofa chewing and picking at her fingernails, even while talking back & forth with Elizabeth. She reminds me of Feeling Sorry For Herself Sammy.

Sherry is ridiculous, sitting there digging for complements but at the same time spouting nasty digs and not willing to give a well deserved complement and getting mad instead that Martin was able to get the kids to sleep in a decent amount of time.

Why on earth is that poor little girl forced to eat curry?! She has psoriasis! Doesn't any one on the show including the doctors know? Forcing her to eat it and or actually eating it will cause flare ups! SMH! Some one please help this child! 😧

Most people love curry, but I hate it myself. Can`t even stand the smell of it!! So can`t for the life of me, understand why the want to make her eat it? I really really feel for her, and this feels so so wrong.....!

I'm glad the counsel gave her some instruction on how to use that time out, but she needs to walk away once he is there! He must stay there BY HIMSELF or he can stay there until he learns to do his time out! Why would you let a child who is still behaving badly...screaming and hitting...to leave time out?

Dude I wouldn’t want to eat curry either , I don’t like Indian food at all the smell and taste is so strong and pungent I can’t do it. Imagine a toddler being forced to eat it😞

Spicy food can be an aggravating factor if you suffer from psoriasis. My mother had psoriasis, but she ate curries anyway, and afterwards had to pay the price. Itching like mad.

"that baby isn't for you" lol

I’m amazed that parents don’t even think about how kids come out of the womb being not used to any flavor or textures. Kids start off with the most bland baby foods n then u start to add more as they grow. I would refuse curry as well if it was 2 spicy since i hate spices.

Psoriasis is affected by processed foods and stress, and other triggers. She is getting stressed cause she doesn’t like curry thus flaring up the psoriasis, I’ve had 27 yrs dealing with my daughters psoriasis 😓 it can badly affect mental health even in a little one

A child should never be forced to eat something they do not like especially something Spiced. As long as they eat healthy and nutritious foods they will be fine .Everyone including children have different taste preferences would the parents like if they were forced to eat something they did not like .

I like the format where people go home, trial the new regime in their home environment then go back to discuss it. Paul and Becca both look as if they have grown up, and certainly seem happier. With regard to Nazreen she seems a very confident and modern Muslim young woman, not the traditional arranged marriage wife who never makes eye contact and walks 10 paces behind her husband. I think they are both very clever and showing how Muslim, Pakistani, families are changing. She even has her own surname and not the name that means married woman that I cannot remember! I grew up with the smell of curry and was actually eating it aged 5 when I went to a neighbours house. Not bad for a white kid in 1950's Britain!

If I’m gonna be honest, I’ve never gotten this kind of attention as a child. I never had connections with my mother and my father, my father left and my mother gave me up to my great grandparents. Which I see more as actual parents instead of my biological parents, my father left me as a child, visited and stopped visiting me at the age of 6yrs old. He’s done a lot to the point where I cannot remember stuff, same with my mother. We fought so much. I was physically, mentally and verbally abused by my step dad my mum was with. She had no idea because I was terrified to tell her, but my oma (grandmother in German and Dutch) and my auntie/mums cousin. They KNEW, and could do nothing except for try to help me when we visited them or when they visited me and my siblings. It turns out I had so many health problems that the doctors did not put effort into looking more into, and now I live with my grandparents to help them. I am 20, going on 21 now and I have a boyfriend I see as my husband and it’s been a year into this relationship. I’ve been happy, but I’m scared on how it will be for my future children. Because of how I was treated as a child, I am still learning things and it’s difficult for me sometimes. Especially to remember things, turns out I have a severe trauma block. So my grandparents, my auntie, my partner/boyfriend and my friends are and have been helping me. This triggers me on how some parents act these days… especially with the lil one with the medical condition, I have psoriasis but on my scalp. Not what like she has, but I also have other health conditions called hashimotos disease which is a thyroid. That health condition is so rough… it needs to be treated with a lot of medication, I myself get very very upset and frustrated because of my conditions. That little girl reminds me of myself as a kid and it’s heartbreaking, I’m not trying to be rude btw! It just makes me sad.

That Mother is set on her daughter eating curry. Why??? The mother ate a cheesy baked potato right in front of her child! 😝 Give the child a hamburger.

I think the Indian family need to focus on their daughter!!! No wonder the daughter screams her head off at the table and then when they let her down from her seat she calms down!!!! Like stop spending time in the kitchen and play with your daughter!!!! I mean toddlers are supposed to eat non spicy foods!!!! That’s how you drive your child away from eating their own culture’s food

Won't eat curry. Give me a break.

Wow! Screaming children in the background. Horrible to hear

I am from India, and kiddie food has little to no chillies,!

The big brother voice coming through at apropriate times would have been hilarious that would scare the scream outta them . Please redo this show with big brother shouting orders through speakers ❤😂😂🇦🇺

when the little ones got down to steal sweets i was like "yep thats me as a toddler" i use to sleep over at a family friends house on new years eve and day as a toddler and one time i could not have been older then three, me the two friends (one was 3 the other was a year) and my sister who was two all woke up because we would sleep in the main playroom, and we all decided to go downstairs and get the rice krispy treats that were left down stairs, i remember we all went down, helping Matthew (the baby) down the stairs and running into the kitchen and i climbed the counter and tossed down the treats, we ate all the left over ones and were sick XD

The one Mother spends way too much time in the kitchen creating dishes that she knows her child dislikes instead of taking her little girl by the hand and going for a walk, maybe play a game or draw a picture. Common sense should prevail when introducing solid food to an infant. Chili peppers and other hot or pungent spices are not a good idea. A viewer commented Indian people she knows do not feed curries and spicy foods to their children until they are old enough to tolerate them, as it should be. People accustomed to curries love the heat but it's child abuse to suddenly start feeding it to a toddler. Mind once she leaves the table, a stop should be put to that screeching right away.

Why are they insisting that she eat spicy foods? Maybe it bothers her stomach or maybe she has really sensitive taste or smell. She also has an inflammatory skin condition that could be aggravated by the chemicals that make food spicy.

Those timeouts are a joke these kids take these timeouts like jokes you need to make sure that they know that when they are on time out they can’t move from where they are

Apparently my uncle was super picky as a kid and got worse after he married and never changed. I can be quite picky as well. My mum said that she and her 4 other siblings were all forced to sit at the table and eat in silence. Grandad actually had a belt he put on the table and if you said anything or refused to eat what was in front of you, then you got the "strap." This was back in the 60's mind you. When it comes to toddlers though, it doesn't take much for food to become a battleground unfortunately. It's best to distract or move onto something else. When the kid gets hungry, it's better to let them choose what they like and not create phobias around food.

Im so confused on what order these documentaries are in. Its frustrating. Help😱 Thank you

Can you imagine giving birth to people and they don’t even want to cuddle or hug you . I would be so sad too I feel so sorry for this mother. She just wants more cuddles

Why is mom so upset that her daughter doesn't like curry? Many people do not like any curry flavored anything! I personally have a sensitive stomach and curry REALLY upsets me.

28;55. Fear of curry. GET OUT OF THERE that lil princess is BOSS!!!

the baby Cleo doesnt trust her brother, even when hes trying to be loving

I don't think curries and spices are for a toddler my daughter had the same skin condition. Growing up my kids used to fight heaps but nothing like Kai does with his sister. Kai needs help he is very aggressive and will end up hurting his sister more than he already has. Last thing the toddler who wont eat what her mom wants her to (mom should lead by example) has no manners I did not hear please or thankyou just give me

These parents have no respect for themselves. They are sloths. Can even sit with respect when you talk to them and feet on your couch. They are slovenly

Just started watching and I’m so confused. Why are Kai & Martin in black face?!?

That little girl can’t even walk or talk and she hates her older brother and rightfully so

Childrens taste are different from growns. Their tongue is very sensible

Martin with mo shirt on ? 😬😳

The mother says that if she doesn't have the hope that her daughter will eventually eat her curry, she has NOTHING! This is a woman with very serious issues...the kid is fine!

I am 47yrs old. I still hate food. Dont like smelling food. eating food. Tasting food.

Why make her eat it is she doesn't like it lol

Can’t work out who are the parents and who are the children.

These couples are so GRACELESS. Not even table manners!

I can’t see the time out working 👎btw I’m against it 😢

12:10 dony she look like she got fake flipper teeth in or she’s like photoshopped teeth 😂

That Hindi must have smoking lungs lol
