It amazes me to see (and hear) how many parents don't realize THEY are the ones in control of what their toddler eats. I am all for respecting giving choices to our kids, helping them learn how to make decisions and be independent. I realize I can control the choices I give them - you can have apple slices or peaches; instead of offering them candy or McDonald's. If you continually offer them good, healthy choices in all areas of their life, you will be amazed at how they will learn to choose good food on their own, as they get older. Has anyone else experienced this wonderful phenomenom?
