Being a MOm

There are good days and not so good days in being a MOm. Today is one of those not so good days. I've always struggled feeding my 4 year old. I still spoon feed her and even with that, it takes her ages to chew and swallow her food. I can't let her independently eat her food by herself because she'll end up playing and barely touching it.And to top it off, my daughter already looks so thin. So, today I got a bit emotional and scolded her, gave her a nice sermon...but at the end felt guily ..because eating should be a pleasure and not a burden esp. to children.

I'll have to get back searching these things in babycenter.com again. I think I won't have a problem feeding my 2nd child since he's always excited to eat. :)

Any brilliant suggestions on how to let 4 year old eat with pleasure?? ;)

Hi Love, I'm wondering if your little girl is snacking too much in between meals, coz that could be the reason why she isn't eating her main meals. I think it is important to regulate the kids' snacks to make sure they are hungry on main meal times. There I turned in my 25 cents... hehe.
