🍽️ The Dinner Table Battle: How to Actually Get Them to Eat

Getting kids to eat what you’re serving can feel like a stressful job. But it doesn't have to be a battlefield. If you’re tired of being a short-order cook, here are three strategies to help your little ones become adventurous eaters:

1. The "Repeated Exposure" Rule

Keep the healthy stuff on the table, even if they don't touch it the first five (or fifteen) times.

Familiarity breeds comfort. If you stop serving broccoli because they said "no" once, it becomes a "scary" unknown food.

Keep those colors on the plate so they remain a normal part of the landscape. 🥦

2. Avoid the "Snack Trap"

If your child is a professional grazer who snacks all day, they’ll never be hungry at dinner.

Too much snacking >>> not hungry during mealtime >>> snacking again 1-2 hours later.

Close the kitchen an hour or two before main meals. A hungry kid is a much more curious eater!

I try make sure they are out of the house at a playground from 3:30 until 5 PM. That seems to do the trick!

3. One Ingredient, Many Ways

Don’t write off a food just because they didn't like it steamed. Texture and preparation change everything!

Chickpeas can be:
- straight from the can
- roasted & crunchy
- hummus
- smashed into a salad

Different texture = different experience. Consistency is key.

You provide the what and the when, they decide the how much. Keep it low-pressure, keep it colorful, and keep trying!

Can you believe that this is Dr Beth Motley MD, FACLM son’s lunch? Can you see if there’s enough protein for his growing body ? 🤔

Lunchbox packed!

Double decker PB&J (his idea)
- Smash brand jelly
- Kirkland PB
- Dave’s bread

No meat? No beans? Where’s the protein?

🥪 Dave’s Killer Bread (3 slices) → 18 g protein

🥜 Peanut butter (2 Tbsp) → 8 g

🌰 Mixed nuts (1/4 cup) → ~5 g

🥭 Dried mango, 🥕 Carrot + celery sticks, 🍅 Grape tomatoes, 🍇 Grapes → ~1–2 g combined

Total protein: ~32–34 grams

For context, a 44-lb child needs roughly 20–22 g of protein per day.

This single meal meets exceeds daily protein needs without protein powders, bars, or shakes.

And yes he will eat it all!

Eat real food!
