Expert Tips: What's On The Menu?

Dinnertime drama: Tired of your child refusing what’s for dinner and constantly demanding different foods?

Try this:

1. Use the script “This is on the menu tonight. Let's add that to the menu tomorrow night”
2. What’s on the menu: Instead of engaging in a power struggle over food preferences, try externalising the choices to an objective menu that you both need to follow.
3. Offer options: Offer 2 choices from the menu and stick to them.
4. Consistency is Key: Stick to the script to establish clear mealtime boundaries and make dinner time more enjoyable for the whole family.
