Dr. Sears Family Essentials and Giveaway (CLOSED)

I had the great privilege of being able to listen in on a webinar by Dr. Jim Sears, co-host of The Doctors TV show, yesterday. Dr. Jim is also from the family of doctors behind such things as AskDrSears.com and the books like The Baby Book, The Discipline Book, and Dr. Sears' Lean Kids, to name a few of them. The webinar was regarding the topic of the Paediatric Nutrition and in part to discuss the Dr. Sears Family Essentials. In the webinar, Dr. Jim discussed many of the things that are important with making sure that kids get the best nutrition for their growing bodies. I really enjoyed the discussion part where questions were posed to Dr. Jim. The information on picky eaters and how to get them eating was something I was  definitely interested in with Princess being an extreme picky eater as opposed to Monkey who eats what you put in front of him, for the most part.

Some of the tips Dr. Jim suggested for picky eaters were: using the disguising method as per blending up the good for you stuff and adding it to meals. He also suggested giving the kids an empty plate and having your meal on your plate and once they notice that they have nothing to eat they may ask for what you are eating. Princess Picky-Eater is the most difficult person in my house. She will find every excuse to not eat and usually finishes the bread first or the drink and then talk throughout the rest of her meal time. I have tried everything from making meal time fun with different cutouts and the muffin tin thing but it lasts for one time them it is a fight with her to get her to finish her meal. She is great negotiator. I honestly think she could sell snow to  a snowman, she's that good (something she gets from her Daddy.)

So I will be trying some of these ideas with her if any of you have a suggestion on how to over come her picky-ness I welcome the advice. Please I will try anything to get her to eat. (I am begging you...I'm on my knees here.)

On to Dr. Sears Family Esstenials.....
