How do you get picky eaters to eat?

What to do about a kid who simply will not eat anything?? I know, it’s all my fault, I’ve been too lenient, I’ve ruined his eating habits for life, yada yada yada.

Give your breakfast a wake-up call

Give your breakfast a wake-up call

All the news recently of kids going back to school so early that they’re eating lunch at 10 a.m.—which is often their first meal of the day—got me thinking of a business breakfast I attended over the summer. We were served a salad, vegetarian chili, and a sausage and pepper casserole, and yes, it was just 10 a.m. [ More ]
