What a HUGE surprise! <sarcasm> Wonder if she will do anymore press conferences to explain this one?

I have a friend who allows her 5 year-old dictate what happens at mealtime and I have never seen such a picky eater as a result. This child subsists on KFC, pizza, and McDonald's, all at the child's whim. And it is not uncommon for the child to decide on pizza, only to refuse then to eat it and want something else (which mom promptly provides). It is also not uncommon to have to wait around for this child to "decide" what he wants so the rest of the household can eat. It is quite infuriating! While the above-mentioned is surely an extreme, it also shows what can happen when children are given TOO much freedom with food choices. I have never had a problem with my own children -- they love a variety of healthy food. I think it helps to introduce healthy food early and often so that it is a "normal" part of every day life. I have also always encouraged trying new foods (I also impart the rule of the have to at least TRY something). It makes me smile when my kids ask for a piece of fruit for a snack when cookies are also readily available and they actually get excited about fish night!

I just don't understand how people can be this cruel. Prison? Far too good for the likes of these people, especially step-mom. I hope this child is able to recover. I am sure she will need plenty of counseling and I hope she is able to move on to live a healthy, productive life, despite her upbringing.

If only it could be that way for our children now... See my post to Inka below... Sat, 1 Nov 2008 06:36:23 +0000 http://www.katu.com/news/33674314.html#IDComment10144653 http://www.katu.com/news/33674314.html#IDComment10144613 Quite the contrary. I think it is incredibly sad that kids nowadays are not allowed to enjoy the holidays in school the way I remember doing when I was growing up. Some of the activities and whatnot we had surrounding the holidays were some of the best memories I had of school and I think it is an incredible shame that our children today are denied those same experiences because some people choose to complain and make an issue out of it.

I do not believe children should not be allowed to enjoy Halloween--quite the contrary. I believe that children should be allowed to enjoy and celebrate ALL of the joyous holidays we have. I just feel if we are going to "ban" one, we should be fair about it. For the people who seem to feel that those of us who express this view and label us "whiners" who are "dissecting" everything, I would say that we are not the ones at fault, but rather the few out there who wish to complain about celebrating holidays in our public schools and create such a fuss that our schools feel the need to "ban" any of the festivities the holidays bring.

I'm glad the snake found his way back home anyway!

No one should waste a moment's time or thought with inflammatory nonsense such as that.

That was funny! Probably not so funny for you though, right?

Will someone PLEASE stop him from speaking! He had nothing of value to say today anyway.

Just further evidence that anything he says should be taken with a grain of salt. Thu, 9 Oct 2008 16:58:09 +0000 http://dev.www.katu.com/news/30712824.html#IDComment8150303
