Bribery

No, because I wouldn’t want it to become a habit, or something expected. I also want them to eat because they want to, not because of some other incentive. Eating is too much of a big thing to bribe for IMO.

No cos that is what causes disordered eating.

With my goddaughters oh absolutely I bribed them ! They would get something simple like a bag of ships or fruit snacks if they ate dinner or lunch and it worked every single time lol little did they know I was gonna give that as a snack anyways

Sometimes. Sometimes she focuses on one thing on her plate that she loves, finishes it and asks for one more. I ask her to try everything else on her plate first before I get her one more, depending on what it is. But I would never bribe her into finishing something she didn’t want or to keep eating something she’s actively expressed dislike for, as long as she’s tried it once.

No. I'm in charge of what goes on the plate. They're in charge of what they eat. We don't bribe, reward, punish, or negotiate.

No way. I offer food, if she doesn't want it, that's fine. Just means she'll be hungry when we offer food again later. I am not a short order cook.

We do first/then

Ours is more of “before you get more pasta we should finish our strawberries we have” or “first we need a nap then we get our cookie when we wake up”

No, I see it as a way of forcing them to eat, toddlers are really good at knowing when they are full but are never going to refuse a sweet or ice-cream, teaches them to ignore the full sign.

That doesn’t really work with mine! Unfortunately they are unbribeable.

Omg the biscuits bribe 🤔😅🍪🍪🍪

We put food on a plate, and you have to try everything once before anything else is given. So if it’s pasta, salad, and strawberries. Kid eats all pasta and strawberries and wants more, you don’t get more until you try the salad. If you try and don’t like, no worries. But once it’s on their plate they can eat it.
