Lately, on Instagram
Itās his birthday today, but we maybe told him it was tomorrow (which is actually Ettaās birthday š¤·āāļø), because the past 48 hours have been a special brand of disaster that I hope never to repeat. Anyone who knows toddlers knows that they only function between a 4-7 on an emotional scale of 1-10, with all numbers above and below looking the same: tears. Being really ill yesterday? 2. The emotions of moving? 1 or 9 depending on the moment. Add a birthday to that and you have a tiny brain literally short circuiting from emotion. But all the same- Happy birthday Henry Wilberforce. Being your mother is the most intense joy and privilege. Or, as you would say in your own special way of referring to size: itās a big chunk honor.I recently pried an entire scoop of mud and 2 rocks from Ettaās mouth but girlfriend will not tolerate a single bite of ANY fruit. She acts like strawberries are straight poison, but recently downed 3 tacos that the rest of us deemed too spicy. She loves broccoli, hates blueberries. One thing I have learned as a parent: you cannot make a child eat. So about a year ago, I stopped fighting meal battles. I choose what to offer and when, they choose what to eat and how much. Thatās it. Donāt like dinner? Get comfy till breakfast. And you know what? When I stop fighting, they stop resisting, and we all eat better. Because hereās the thing: I would eat exclusively tacos if I could, and I also only like my drink in one specific cup. I get it, the pickiness. Learning to eat is part of learning to live, and when I recognized that my job is about forming and responding to habits and tastes, instead of forcing the right number of calories in- it is so freeing. I do not always have a healthy relationship with food, and I desperately want that for my kids. What are the parenting battles that you find it better (not to be confused with easier!), not to fight?
