<< Hey Lisa - A child that likes spinach??!! I find this concept
overwhelmingly
unbelievable. Are you sure your child wasn't swapped at birth for an alien?
<vbg> >>
I'm *sure* my kids are aliens! They ask for artichokes when we're at the
grocery store! They LOVE veggies - from carrots to asparagus to zucchini to
well, anything! Brussels Sprouts are another big favorite! Don't know why,
they're just possessed or something! lol
Btw - I'm new here, so I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Mary C, mom of
2 handsome boys (7 & 5) and a beautiful daughter (16 months). I had no idea
I was "unschooling" until I saw it described on the Internet! But here I am,
and they're learning in spite of me.

My kids love veggies too. But, we have always had a policy of eat whatever,
whenever - as long as you leave dad some ice cream for after dinner. We
discovered that with this rule - they tend to choose both healthy things and
junk food. We ALWAYS have a veggie with dinner, and they always eat it. The
only veggie we have had to back off from is Brussel Sprouts. Oldest dd had
an unfortunate accident when we served them one time...ruined ALL of our
dinners <g>
