					<description>I really enjoyed reading all of the wonderful ways of creating a healthy and fun enviroment at the dinner table. One thing that we have done at our table is to play the best and worst part of our day. Either myself or my wife starts it off and I have enjoyed finding out how my child is doing. I also think that they connect with what myself and wife deal with as well. Anyways thanks for all the great advice!</description>

					<description>We have a family dinner every night. dessert is reserved for the Sabbath, festivals, and to mark the beginning of the new month ( a minor Jewish festival) which would otherwise get ignored. When my kids were little I used to have them change into pajamas before dinner. It saved on getting clothes stained and was one less step in the battle for bedtime. 
Having a designated supper helper who can help cook and choose the menu also helps stir their interest and appetite. 
I find I am making some foods over many times, but as long as it has a balance of protein, vegtables, etc. I don't mind since these are the favorite dinners.</description>

					<description>Hello!  

Here are two quick ideas.  

For us, dessert is only to be served an hour or later after dinner.  That way, if my son is still hungry, he has to eat something healthy or leftovers and cannot use dessert to fill his stomach.  Sometimes he forgets dessert altogether by the time an hour rolls around.  

Also, I recently put a globe in our table and we've used it in many discussions during dinner.

Thanks for letting me share my two cents!</description>

					<description>Pamela,
We have low blood sugar issues in our family, too.  I'm very bad about needing to keep my blood glucose stable, and I'm afraid my oldest son, now 8, has inheirited it from me.  It's a terrible feeling to be craving sweets all the time (I know) and it's a terrible feeling to have your blood sugar get low, too.  I simply don't bring foods into the house that we can't have and I'm trying to help my son to see how sometimes his behaviour is due to something like having not eaten for hours.  In a loving manner I will point out to him, this is how it feels...it's awful to feel this way, isn't it?...this is how you can/what you do to keep your blood glucose steady.  Just as if he were a diabetic and needed to monitor his food intake, I try to help him appreciate he has, not a blessing, but a drawback when it comes to his personal makeup, and he can't go as long as others without food, and he can't eat the same kind of foods as others eat, either.  I keep snacks prepared, cut up apples, carrots, etc... and try to display them attractively for him (for all of us, really) and I figure it's my responsibility to not only feed him, acknowledging his special needs, but also to teach him how to accomodate them for himself, too.  We eat whole foods and try to emphasize with postive-ness what we CAN have as opposed to pointing out ALL the foods we cannot have because they are SO off our list.  If it's not food, we don't eat it.  That eliminates a LOT of junk-foods right there.  That doesn't mean he's stopped asking for them, though.  Don't think I've gotten him to that point yet.  But just as I would with a person who's diabetic and might be asking for things that are off their list, because they're craving them; I protect him by not giving them to him.  HTH
Yours,
Sonja</description>

					<description>I love what you posted Debbi and kudos to you for being a great and caring mom.

I can only add one thing we do as far as salads go; I have 3 sons and all like different things so I picked up an old lazy susan at a thrift shop and small bowls. We then put each topping (cucumbers, onions, tomato, etc) in its own bowl on the lazy susan. The boys love topping their salads and I have noticed they actually pile more veggies themselves that they would get if it was pre-tossed. We also but the dressing in a bowl with a teaspoon. They seem to use less that way.

Hope this helps someone.

					<description>Thank You Ellen (in deed) and God bless you and all of your associates for all of your good work. It feels satisfying reading your articles and taking them with a grain of salt. You offer solutions to age old problems. Something positive to focus on, rather than the insanity. Once more, thank you all in deed.</description>

					<description>I have 5 healthy kids.  They are not overweight, and a few of them are downright picky.  This is what we do.

We have a sit down lunch every afternoon and supper every single night.  It is generally around the same time, but I am not a Nazi about the time schedule, I have to be flexible for hubby's schedule as well.  We turn on some soft music (right now it's Christmas music) and we sit around and discuss our day.

If a child does not want to eat something, then they may sit at the table and visit with us.  They do not rummage through the fridge and find themselves soemthing to eat.  I usually have a few things to choose from, so they can at least find something to munch on.  But they are expected to wash hands and be at the table during supper.

I don't bribe with dessert, I have found it only creates contention and stress, when that is the opposite of the types of feelings I want to create.  We only have dessert on Sunday and sometimes on Monday, it is not linked to whether or not they eat supper.  The rest of the time, it's just family supper...no dessert.

I try not to make too much of a fuss over whether a child is eating only bread, or veggies, or pasta...etc...  They will find their balance.  The more I seem to fuss over it, the more the children see this as a way to get attention (the bad kind) we don't want this.

I have several boys who will not eat a salad if it has even one tomato in it.  I have other children who adore tomatoes.  So I make the salad with cucumbers etc... and put it on the table, I put the tomatoes in a seperate bowl, and those that want them can put them on their salad.  I have one child that will only eat his salad plain, with no dressing.  I don't push it, as long as he eats the salad, I am glad.

Many times I make meals ahead of time (casseroles, or sauces, sometimes even just cooked meat) and freeze it in airtight bags and keep it in the freezer.  If I need a quick meal, I have casseroles available, if I need spaghetti sauce (homemade is all we eat) I can take the precooked hamburger out of the freezer, and put it in the sauce and it heats up.  Then some noodles, veggies and salad, and we have a nice spaghetti meal.

I have used the crockpot many times, and many times find ways to cut corners, and make cooking easier and quicker.  I homeschool 4 of my 5 kids (the oldest is in college) so I don't have a lot of time for cooking.

My kids do love to help me make homemade bread, and love to feed the wheat grinder and watch the wheat kernels turn into flour for our bread.  What a neat thing.

Having a sit down dinner has proven time and time again, to connect the family, and help keep children from being obese.  If we are eating on the run, it isn't good for the tummy to not really taste your food, because you are in such hurry.

I hope you enjoy your meals with your family.

					<description>This reply is for Pamela"
I'm not an expert but this is works for me:
We sometimes get home late weeknights (usually just after 6pm) and we are really hungry so before I start cooking supper, I'll take out carrots and low fat dip so we have something to munch on while supper is cooking so there is no fridge rading.
If my child asks for dessert I'll tell she can have it only if she eats her supper. Healthy food first! By the time she does have her supper, she's usually not hungry anymore and cookies or candies are forgotten.
But every situation is very different. My nephew wouldn't eat protein for the longest time and my sister had to find ways for him to get some in his daily diet. Thank goodness for soy milk! He's started eating more protein now but it was a struggle for years. Good luck!</description>

					<description>so.....the question was not answered: Does this mean that a child should get dessert no matter what was left uneaten during the main part of the meal? what if all the child wants to eat is sweets? what if the child hates protein? what if the child changes his preferences from meal to meal? or insists on raiding the fridge while i'm cooking dinner? 
honestly i really don't want to make an issue of food, but we have low blood sugar issues (well, my child does) in our family, directly related to behavior, and i'm the one that has to deal with the meltdowns when he refuses to eat. which he does. often. or he wants to survive on string cheese and jerky and sweets. 
i don't even keep sweets around the house that much and that's all he talks about...he wants dessert after breakfast, even, and he justifies it by saying he ate one soy sausage and should deserve dessert!

so.....what's a mom to do?</description>
