Naksh is not a fussy eater at all. But sometimes if he doesn't feel like eating it is very hard to feed him. At such times, I try to make eating fun for him. I move the spoon in the air like an airplane, adding some sound effects to it. When Naksh gets distracted I put the spoon with food in his mouth. He munches it with a big smile.
It's normal for young kids between 1 to 6 years to throw tantrums over food. Ananya also pushes away her food if she doesn't like it. I know I beat her up for not eating and listening to me as it could be frustrating for mothers. But maa told me it's never good to raise hands on a child if they aren't eating. Being calm and patient with the children also helps them to come calm down and listen to you.
