'Do you want a yoghurt'


'Ohhhh yes please yummy'

'Im full up!'

With mine it's banana one bite and then they leave it. It drives me mad.

yeap, which is why I dont provide food anymore. All mine bring lunch boxes or something to re-heat, that way I couldnt care less whether it is eaten or not:laughing:

Although i still insist most of main course or sandwiches are eaten before other treats in lunch box are offered

If I had a child who regularly did this with a yoghurt I would just put a couple of spoonfuls in an old washed up yoghurt pot and give them that, they could then have another couple of spoonfuls or finish the rest of it the next day. Or just buy the smaller fromage frais yoghurts - give them one, if they eat it give them another (depending on their age).

Same thing happens with yoghurts in my house x

[KatieFS]

Oooooo yes! Gggrrr

[SJ35]

Yes and that's also why I don't provide any food now either. So much easier and I don't get as stressed at mealtimes. X

[donna porter]

Oh yes!!!!

He doesn't normally do it with treat type stuff such as yoghurt or pudding, funny enough he swallowed his dinner down like no tomorrow, so I'm sure it was a test for me. He saw I didn't let up, and that was the end of it.
