Good Morning everyone! So how many of you have kids? and now how many of you have problems with mealtimes? I am finding this is a very common problem and esp here in our home....Times need to change with the way kids eat esp with Childhood Obesity issue that is out of control..... As I am sure you all know I have a 3 year old and we have had battles at mealtimes..mostly with what to eat.....for the longest time she would only eat a few certain things and not too many of those things would be the most healthy. She would always say "no i don't like that" when really she had never tried it...... I have read many parenting books and none of them really helped...... One day i stumbled upon something called the Calmer, Easier, Happier Parenting website http://www.calmerparenting.com/.....and our mealtimes along with many other issues we were having have all become so great......The methods that are used are so effective. They also have many other CD's to help with Please read more about the products and the Child Behavioral Expert behind this great company..... http://www.calmerparenting.com/ Thousands of parents worldwide have solved the mealtime issues with the Calmer, Easier, Happier Mealtimes strategies, which are part of the Calmer, Easier, Happier Parenting program. Noel Janis-Norton, a learning and behavior specialist, created this program more than 30 years ago. Through seminars, books, CDs and DVDs she shows how parents can get back in charge of their family’s lifestyle in a highly positive, firm and consistent way in order to bring out the best in all family members.
Parents want their children to eat more healthy foods, but they often feel frustrated because they don’t know how to achieve these important goals. So all too often parents end up urging and lecturing their children about eating healthier foods, but then they find themselves giving in and serving food that is less healthy because they know their children will eat it without a fuss. Parents need effective strategies to enable them to implement the information they learn about healthier lifestyles.
In our two-CD set, Calmer, Easier, Happier Mealtimes: How to improve mealtime behavior and get your children to eat what you want them to eat, Janis-Norton shares proven strategies, such as her “First Plate Plan”, that parents can put into practice to help their children become willing to eat and quite soon enjoy a wide variety of healthy foods. The CD set includes real stories from parents explaining how they used these strategies to transform their children's eating habits.

We produce quality parent education products—CDs, DVDs and Books that teach parents a specific set of simple skills that result in children becoming more cooperative, confident, motivated, self-reliant and considerate and parents becoming less stressed. The strategies present effective alternatives to endless reminding, repeating and nagging and are immediately effective at getting kids to be willing to cooperate the first time they are asked to do anything. Calmer Easier, Happier Parenting Core Skills CD Series, Simple skills—powerful results Learn five simple and effective techniques that solve the most frustrating aspect of parenting: getting your children to do what you ask, without complaining, the first time you ask them to do something. These skills work to help children become more cooperative, confident, motivated, self-reliant and considerate. When you put all five of the CEHP skills in this series into practice, you can positively transform family life. Parents contact us and purchase CDs or sign up for a seminar when they are fed up and frustrated with lack of listening and cooperation, and they realize that what they are doing now isn’t working (reminding, repeating, nagging, negotiating, bribing, yelling, etc.) so they are desperate for better strategies. They may be exasperated with a number of things: Morning mayhem Homework hassles Picky eating Sibling fighting TV tantrums Bedtime battles The resistance manifests itself with worrying behavior, such as whining, tantrums, resisting and refusing, disrespect towards parents and siblings, etc. It’s frequently the case that these children have a more intense, inflexible or sensitive type of temperament and the parent has become used to giving in or “tip toeing” around the child because it’s easier than dealing with the child being upset—with the tantrums, whining, frustration, anger and in some cases, physical aggression. True story: One parent called in tears, asking to purchase the CD set. She had just had a car accident. She was driving her kids to school, and her 4 year old was having a fit in the car about food he wanted (he had just eaten breakfast at home). His whining and screaming were so hard to listen to that she slammed the car in reverse in a parking lot to go back home to get him the food he wanted, and she hit another car These techniques are effective with children from age two to teens. It’s never too late to use these skills to improve behavior. They even work on spouses! I hope this all helps and until we chat again.....have a great week... K Kim Lybrand
