New trick for getting my picky kiddo to eat her veggies:
I put all the music on my phone on random and whenever she wants me to skip a song she doesnβt like she has to eat some of her veggies first.
Iβm not a parent, but wouldnβt you just wait your kidβs hunger out? Like, theyβll get hungry enough to eat vegetables eventually, theyβre not going to starve themselves to death. Once theyβve had a serving of vegetables, itβs back to the regular diet.
@threeduck @dadsplain That is still kind of my instinct, but my daughterβs pickiness got to the point that it affected her health. Fortunately, weβve made enough progress over the past few years that that problem is behind us. Now weβre just working on variety. Weβre not forcing her to clean her plate. She just needs some encouragement and light pressure to figure out how to enjoy more than one type of vegetable.

(I was psychology tortured by that song when it was used to test the PA system on the cruise ship I worked on 24 hours a day for a whole week with no interruptions)
@Kolanaki @dadsplain oh no
@dadsplain Now playing:
Apparently images Mastodon replies donβt show up on Lemmy. The Cure was playing:
@CrimeDad @dadsplain And apparently the images in Lemmy replies donβt show up in Mastodon either lol. #Mastodon #Lemmy
@dadsplain maybe it will show up if tagged? π€·π»ββοΈ
Mastodon and Lemmyβs linkage is weird.
My parents just yelled at me until i ate them so probably avoid doing that.
Thatβs quite a trick without being tricky. I like it!
@Tolookah @dadsplain after dinner it turns into a kitchen dance off.
