How to feed fussy Kids... A guide to parents and baby-sitters.




I was always told that my sister was a very fussy eater. She wouldn’t eat till my mother cried because she thought her great effort to cook my sister’s favorite food was unnoticed. She would make my mother do the usual method of showing her the crows and the dogs while feeding her. Finally she would declare that she’d only eat if the crows and dogs got a share too…it always ended with the crows eating more food than her.

On the other hand, I don’t particularly remember eating that well as a kid, but nevertheless, I’m one-and-a-half my elder sister’s size…. Now, how can that be?

Well, the truth lies in my father’s theory - one that has me really believing in it.

I call this `theory’, the `trick any fussy kids’ theory.It is guaranteed to give all fussy kids the nutrition they need and more!

He says, there is a great appetite specialist in a place called Imstarved, by the name of Mr.I’llfeedyourkids – for short Mr.I’ll. Mr. I’ll is a man with no biological children, but a lot of adopted children who helped him find this solution.

He discovered this theory when a child came to him and said `I’m hungry but my mom says I’ll grow fat if I eat too much’. His solution was this theory where a kid could eat as much or as little as it wants and yet be healthy…

Once you take your kid to him, he gives the kid some candy to eat and before the kid realizes what is happening, fixes a zipper to the stomach. Voila! Instant trick… Now you can give your kid all the nutrition needed without the hassle.

The reason this is a success is because, the zip is seamless, and only the parents can see it. This also makes nutrition easier. Milk, vegetables, and all the stuff kids hate are conveniently stored away in the stomach.

Once you bring your kid back, no trouble…no crying…no more fussing. If your kid refuses to eat, so be it. Once the kid is asleep, out comes the food, the zipper is opened and the food is stuffed in. The kid wakes up without a clue… could you imagine trying to make your kid drink a big glass of milk?

Within a span of time, no skinny malnourished kids but strong healthy ones.

And, guess what? They don’t particularly remember eating!

I have finally realized the trick played on me. But, so what? A lot more parents are now relieved of the `fussy eater’ hassle.
