Especially if it is something they don't like. I only require one bite then. But, if they get themselves seconds or thirds they have to eat it all. It has been a great lesson in our eyes being hungrier then our stomachs. Also, all my boys must drink milk with supper, and no one gets bread or corn bread or a roll until their plate is clean. Corn bread is a great motivator, as is lemonade, lol. I do have a very strict dessert rule. If you were too full to clean your plate, don't come in ten minutes after leaving the table and ask for cheesecake!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16413414001648027592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496085967822115527.post-16859748858596904732008-11-07T14:38:00.000-05:002008-11-07T14:38:00.000-05:00What an awesome idea!!!I was wondering if you will...What an awesome idea!!!<BR/><BR/>I was wondering if you will you come by and sign up for a time to feast in prayer on Thanksgiving for the little ones and their families living in poverty? <BR/><BR/>http://allinhisdesign.blogspot.com/search/label/Fast%20and%20FeastAbbie H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04023208854738206961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496085967822115527.post-27306917443914444532008-11-07T14:28:00.000-05:002008-11-07T14:28:00.000-05:00I, too, was raised in the clean plate club, and it...I, too, was raised in the clean plate club, and it's taken years to reverse my thinking. We've done like you - serving a "normal" amount, then allowing them to go back for seconds if they still feel truly hungry. <BR/><BR/>$1 a day - that's amazing. I'll have to check their diet out!Smelling Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04011943170704349883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496085967822115527.post-85611666957663016662008-11-07T12:54:00.000-05:002008-11-07T12:54:00.000-05:00One thing that really gets to me is that the healt...One thing that really gets to me is that the healthier alternatives (including fresh produce, 100% juices, organic milk, etc) are so very expensive... while the processed, hormone and preservative laden foods are practically dirt cheap.

My mom was a total proponent of it and it is hard not to make my daughter take "one more bite" or just to finish what is on her plate. But I agree with you that it is better to let them dictate how much. We just end up with a lot of leftovers. They usually get eaten in a few days.<BR/>P.S. The HE detergent I use is from Costco...it is one of the only powdered detergents that I have found. I also have one that I got from Whole Foods Market, but I haven't tried it yet...it is probably more "green."Buzzings of a Queen Bee!https://www.blogger.com/profile/01620329144708471804noreply@blogger.com
