        • EVERY kid goes through this--it's developmental. If you are going to get upset over this, you are in for a LONG 20 years (and after that, it's TRULY out of your hands)

            • Please don't. You are doing a terrific job and kids are an excellent exercise in making you flexible and shifting perspective. You can do this. Think of her as a wonderful explorer at this age--like little scientists 24/7, figuring out the world they are now noticing.

        • Why does it upset you? I guess you stop being upset by looking at the big picture--you want to teach her that eating meals, with her family, is a pleasant enjoyable part of life.

    • Mine likes to take a big piece of apple and bite little pieces off of it, chew them, and then spit them out. That is pretty much her version of eating fruit.
