I'm a mother of three. Every day I prepare food for them from breakfast, lunch, dinner including food they bring in school. I'm a cooked they all says. I make different food for everyday because if you repeat tell will tell you this menu again specially the kid you need to impressed them every now and then so that they will going to eat what you prepare. My second son is very hard to please he only choose the food he eat so I have to discover different menu for him to eat well he is so thin so I need to do all I can in order for him to eat well. They don't eat vegetable so I have experiment a menu that mix with vegetable that they will not notice the vegetable. Until one day I discover all the food he wants to even every meal. wow it's quite weird. He wants to eat hamburger with mushroom sauce made by me of course.... I also do spaghetti sweet sauce with meat balls home made, lumpiang shanghai with sweet sauce.... choapan rice like the one they sell in chowking. and meatballs with sweet sauce when I prepare that he eat a lot and ask for more wow isn't it grate if you saw your child enjoy eating food that you prepare. I don't have problem with my other children they like all the thing I prepare. Now a days it's really hard to budget so you have to experiment doing other menu in order for you to save when you experiment you will discover other dishes that is really affordable and healthy for your family. Like in meatballs for example I chop banana's heart and mix it in the meatball so I only need little amount of ground meat. Healthy and delicious. How about you how can you encourage to eat a hard to feed children? What do you do?

Hi, Some times I too face the same problem. I am having two kids aged 5 and 2yrs. I will cook vegetables mixed with meet. Then they will eat well. With greens also I will mix them with meet. Then it is ok for kids.
