Fussy Toddler: Parenting Whine and Sympathy #1

We love Google Plus here at KiddyCharts; both Helen Neale and the company are all over it like a rash…not least because it lets me hangout with some rather lovely ladies, and call it work!

Today we are launching our new series of hangouts Parenting Whine & Sympathy (#parentingwhine). We are just going to chat to other mums and dads about the things that drive our kids mad, so we won’t then need to reach for a glass of red later in the day….

Who has a fussy toddler? I know we all experience struggles with food, so the first hangout covered Fussy Eating with:

Jayne Crammond from Mums the Word
Caroline Job from Lunchbox World Blog
Clare Nicholas from Emmy’s Mummy, and
Jen Stanbrook from Love Chic Living.

It was a lively and helpful discussion, including ideas on helping with that fussy toddler:

Interesting food for lunchboxes
Encouraging your child to eat bread and sandwiches, and
Trying to get your child to eat meat, and other “oddly” textured food.

So why not listen in to our chat, I am sure you will pick up a parenting tip or two for your fussy eaters!

Next week, we will have Beckie Whitehouse from Be Confident Coaching see if she can help a little more with some of these problems as well, so stay tuned.
