I don't believe that children that have parents that work outside of the house are at a disadvantage... I also don't believe that children that have a parent that stays at home somehow benifit.

No, not eve if the two bite rule had that same conclusion each and every timesure...the kid is still trying new food, so no.

No, because they are having meat, potatoes and two bites of vegetables.

Yes, I think it's one or two foods...and a couple of textures/mixtures for the youngest.

I always thought that was the goal...for parents not to like the clothing, lol....that means it's right in fashion for the teens.

Kohl's is fun, reminds me of the smaller department stores outside of malls that we used to have around....everything in there but the kitchen sink.

<<I see no problem having a 2 bite rule or encourage your child to eat foods. It only becomes a control issue when the child refuses to do so and you make them do it anyway.>>


As I have said before, there are a variety of things that my children may refuse to do and I make them do it anyway.

I don't have rules that don't have a point and/or aren't unenforceable either, something I said 100's of posts ago....but I'm willing to spend the time teaching my children, even if it takes 10 times to teach them.

Yes, we will have to agree to disagree...as I have rules where sometimes a child doesn't comply and I make my child comply through respect,

I'm not following, why wouldn't it be a part of this discussion, it's something I have said for 100's of posts now.

You keep saying that my methods won't work on your child, which is of course something I have never claimed...you keep asking me what I would do if my children didn't follow my rule...I have no idea, outside of what I have already stated that I have done in regards to consequences, I believe you called it nagging.
