This is my wisdom bomb when it comes to pick eaters and small children. Feed them at home. Feed them something good before you go to the party, the event, the Disneyland, the whatever it is you're going. And then don't worry about it. Let them eat whatever they want. Say yes as much as possible. And don't worry about it, because the truth is one day, one week, even two weeks of eating lousy is not a make or break deal. It's far more important that you make a positive memory with your child and relinquish all the craziness about the eating. Remember, it's about the relationship. The relationship drives everything. If you focus on that, you won't mind so much that the kids are eating too many cookies.
