I’ve tried the options thing, I’ve tried the putting food in front of him thing. I’ve tried everything—until today. Today, I tried something that I was so good at doing previously and that’s allowing him to be involved in the mealtime preparation process. What do I mean by that? Having him help make his meal. Some people may think this is time consuming or that your child will make a mess and get in your way, but guess what—it made my night a little bit more easier.
