Guest guest Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Hi Di, It was a process. I didn't want to sneak things in. I wanted them to listen to me. ABA was very helpful. I first taught them to eat new foods. To listen to Mommy. First THEN was very helpful. I used pictures for my son. I made a first then board, and let him pic what he wanted as reward. Yes I used standard GFCF crap to get them to eat the healthy foods. In a way the terrible addictions can be used to your advantage. My son would do just about anything for a gfcf brownie or chicken nugget, so I used them to teach eating new foods. Most important is to get them eating the healing foods that help conquer fungal infections and change PH so the body wants the good foods. My kids didn't want yck or cvs or green drink, I baited them. First 1/8 tsp of yck then movie or gfcf junk. After many months of breaking it all down we had vegetables being eaten at meals, yck and cvs consumed. At some point the rewards became an almond or being excused from the table and the battle was over. Key is always being organized and not giving in. If you give in, it's a battle that never ends. Figure out what your kid wants and they don't get it until they try the new thing. Then slowly reward less and expect more. I also couldn't send my son to school. There was no way to teach all of this. He had to be home to establish these habits. Now I can send him anywhere with a note of what to do and he'll follow what I write. I couldn't expect a teacher to sit for hours as I did and expect a bite of kale or new food. Now with my back turned while I wash dishes my kids won't touch their millet zuchini bread until their vegetables topped with raw yolk and cvs are consumed. Ok some examples: onions, arame, sauteed in ghee and stirred into quinoa homemade chicken soup bone marrow broth topped over seed grain or vegetables leeks, kale, garlic, ghee topped with 20% protein or seed grain fermented coconut pudding grass fed beef meatballs mixed with vegetables/yolk, steamed vegetable, cvs on the side dehydrated seed bars/crackers topped with almond butter millet flat bread topped with herbs, lettuce greens, garlic pesto, topped with sauteed zuchini/onions millet zuchini waffles Most of our meals have cvs and green drink on the side. My green drink is celery parsely and super vitality. We do shots of yck or green drink We just started raw goat milk kefir this week. This will add more variety!!! My 4 yr old son was completely typical at a birthday party today! I took fake pizza and vege muffins. I empty drink boxes and fill with water so they have a package that looks the same. I could not have done this if I had waited for my kid to take these foods. He was an addict. I had to get the behavior under control and then step by step take the bad out, and put the healing foods in. Now to get my husband to do this too! He does this at the table with my kids, but still has bad habits. I may have to find an adult sized booster chair and strap him in, or bribe him with sex. > > The BED intimidates me esp since none of my kiddos like d the YCK - I > have not tried water kefire yet...arrrgggh.Did you have to use really > naughty foods to get teh good ones on board?
