RE: [Unschooling-dotcom] help with 2 yr old
Jon and Rue Kream
Mary - Both of my kids have gone through this phase. When you think about
it, most snack servings are much too big for a two year old. I just gave
them what they asked for and put whatever was left in a ziplock. They
usually ate the rest at another time, or someone else in the house did.

Okay folks. Ran into a problem lately that I thought would pass and it
hasn't. I've been giving the kids what they want to eat pretty much when
they want it. No problems with any of them and no one pigs out on the junk.
Although I am the one who has to watch with my almost 2 yr old daughter as
she's the one that too much chocolate gets to. I'm sure it will pass as the
same thing happened with her older sister. I have also found out that
recently, like in the past month, she has not asked for as much as before so
that'a a good thing.
I digress, now my problem, if you will. Alyssa, who will be 2 yrs in a few
weeks asks for food quite often and she's quite the eater at a tiny 23lbs.
For the last couple of weeks, whenever she asks for anything, she maybe
takes one bite, throws it away and asks for something else briefly after.
She's been doing this so often during the day that now it's getting to me.
Now mind you she is eating, just not everything and quite a bit of the stuff
not at all. This is usually reserved for the snack foods, whether it's
candy, poptart or crackers. Although it has happened at dinner too. I don't
want to tell her no she can't have it. Don't do it with any of the other 3,
why her? I have tried to explain as much as her mind can get it, but the
point is, she doesn't.
Any suggestions?

I don't know if you would want to do it this way, but my younger son would do the same thing. I would only give him a small bit of whatever he asked for, and told him he could have more afterwards if he wanted, but nothing different til it was gone.

Get "donut holes" so one or two is a lot to him. Donut and apple go great
together!

Oh, no, that's why I said give them just a bit of it and tell them they can have more if they want.... but that they have to finish that bit before they get something else - pretty much what you suggested about cutting it up, you just said it much better than my sleep- and cold- deprived mind! :-)

New and improved muffin tins - paint palettes! They come in all
sorts of shapes and sizes, but the ones we are using right now
are traditional palette shape, with 8 dimples. 3 raisins here,
one cheeze cracker there, a bite of chicken over yonder. Purists
might worry about whether the plastic is "food grade" I'm not
cooking it or leaving much on it long, so I don't. The little
and the thumb hole delight the 2 y.o., especially since I have a
spot in the fridge where he can store it when he is done

Yes she definitely doesn't get the expense part and I hate throwing food
away. Seems like my kitchen is over run with baggies. I do buy things small
size anyway. It works better for us. I even buy the little snack bags of
cookies as all the kids can just grab a bag and go. Unfortunately, the
little one maybe takes one bite out of one cookie. One bite out of one
popem, or one bite out of one snack size candy bar. I can't toast a fourth
of a poptart so the whole things gets done and she takes one bite out of one
fourth. Same with a bagel. Now when my husband is home, he eats what's left.
No one else does. I can't seem to but smaller sizes or cut smaller pieces
than I do.
Boy I sure hope this doesn't last long.

Pop tart? Cut in fourths.
She's two. Small stomach, small attention span, NO idea of expenses.>>
Yes she definitely doesn't get the expense part and I hate throwing food
away. Seems like my kitchen is over run with baggies. I do buy things small
size anyway. It works better for us. I even buy the little snack bags of
cookies as all the kids can just grab a bag and go. Unfortunately, the
little one maybe takes one bite out of one cookie. One bite out of one
popem, or one bite out of one snack size candy bar. I can't toast a fourth
of a poptart so the whole things gets done and she takes one bite out of one
fourth. Same with a bagel. Now when my husband is home, he eats what's left.
No one else does. I can't seem to but smaller sizes or cut smaller pieces
than I do.
Boy I sure hope this doesn't last long.

my kids would always do this when they were getting their molars...
are her 2 yo molars all in yet?
That might make a difference.>>
Hi Judy,
You know I was just wondering about this last night. Not because of her
eating habits though. She was a bit feverish before bed but acting fine
otherwise. I thought right away maybe it was her molars as she hasn't gotten
them in yet. Gave her some colloidal silver and this morning she was fine. I
am checking on those gums though. Maybe that does have something to do with
how she's eating. She does seem to be picking more than usual.
Thanks for the heads up and thanks to everyone who gave me advice.

My daughter is going to be three next month and she is very similar -
with a recent addition. Sometimes she objects to me cutting things up,
even though she only wants a few little bites. I'm thinking of apples,
waffles and cookies especially. I just leave the leftover on a plate on
her endtable, for a reasonable length of time of course, until she
returns no more. The rest of the time I really wish I had a compost
heap, or grew earthworms. (Small apartment - no real garden). I also
tend to find small deposits in odd spots around the place - apple skin,
or half a cookie. She is in great health, so a diet of primarily vanilla
ice cream and grazing all the other food groups seems to be working for
her. Also we are still nursing on demand.
However there is light at the end of the tunnel. Today she ate almost a
whole small apple, skin and all, in one "sitting".

Robyn, that's funny about leaving the food around. Alyssa does the same
thing. I'm always on the hunt for where she might have left something. Down
here in the south, I have to watch for ants so I need to search. The other
night, she came out in the living room eating something brown. (Oh Lord)
When my husband and I asked what it was, she said "totart." And she's
happily eating. I told my husband at least she had poptart that morning and
good thing it's not from a week ago, and of course he had to ask, "How do
you know?", LOL!!
I'm sure we'll all get through it. It is funny most of the time. Looks like
we have a mouse in the house as we find food with one little bite out of
it!! And I must say I'm envious about you nursing. I was ready to do the
long haul with this one as I finally had some nursing support. Here Alyssa
weaned herself at a year and half. My husband was laughing at me because I
was almost trying to force feed her the breast. I was very disappointed!!!

Well we have two dogs but we don't give them people food. One is a
Bullmastiff and if he ate people food, I'd be broke!!!! I just made up my
mind this time around I wouldn't do that. I fattened up too many dogs in my
day with leftovers!!

- You could dry some
personal gross factor. If my kids don't finish an
apple I stick it in the freezer. Then I can grate it
frozen to make apple muffins for breakfast or a snack.
I also put unfinished toast in the freezer too. Then I
grate that in the food processor. Then I use the bread
crumbs in place of some of the flour in when I make
muffins and when I make pancakes.
