Just wanted to share this here:

Today my daughter mentioned to me in passing that she's thinking about trying some new foods. I said "Okay".

That's our first non-emotionally charged conversation about food that I can remember. It's certainly the first time that she's started a conversation about food.

We've been "deschooling" about food for approx 9 months now. My daughter is 9, very nearly 10 years old. She started on solids at around a year old.

I've often read that deschooling takes approx 1 month for each year of school … so that made me smile to myself.
