What about eating issues?

We have debated sleeping issues to death once again....so what about another one of the issues of childhood....eating and/or not eating?


My kids eat just about anything and have a pretty well rounded diet.

So you have more taste buds, does that mean your brain is less flexible? Less adaptive?

Gag reflex is usually a mind over matter thing. Survival. You think its bad for you - toss it. Its what is mentally determined to be "bad for you" that causes most of it. By the time its actually tied to texture or anything really physiological, its usally a medically diagnosed issue. Not too many kids can be well nourished in the early days, for example, if mush (one of the big gaggers) makes them gag. Conflicts with that no teeth thing.

I think it depends on what they are eating.

LOL that's a good one! Can you teach them to cook by carrying them around in a backpack while you're cooking?

It means people noticed you ignored the whole active lifestyle part of the scenario presented.

How did you divine that from the "defect in the opinion holder" sentence?

Well, maybe that should tell you something.

You are assuming that mothers who forgo what they are doing would all of a sudden have a multitude of benefits to them and their child if only they were disciplined enough to stick to a regimented routine.

I would really like to know how much more I and my healthy, well rested, well slept, happy-go-lucky, flexible, energetic, non cranky, can be alone for more than 10 minutes child would be if we were rigid with a sleep schedule. Is there a cash prize? Because then maybe I would be down with it. Other than that, I can hardly see what more benefits that *I* would accrue if I were to have been more strictly scheduled in regards to sleep.

So the majority carnivores should be served something they merely "will eat" that the vegetarian may have a fully enjoyable meal? Are you sure this is "hostest with the mostest" behaviour? Unless this vegetarian is the guest of honour, I'd think not.

How often did your 4 year old get you up at night after his first birthday?
