To all daycare providers, parents, and indeed all individuals: Let's stop creating overly selective eaters. I stand by this statement. With over 30 years of experience in childcare, I can confidently say that children need to understand the concept of a diverse diet. Allowing children to consume only 5-6 food items is a failure on our part as parents. As a daycare provider, I often faced challenges with both parents and children. The most difficult task was consistently saying "no." This episode explores the methods I used to create my own menu, all while maintaining grace.

I would like to express my gratitude for all the emails and messages I have received. Sometimes, that's all I need. Retirement has its challenges, but I am busy finding new activities and sending out stickers in the mornings.

Episode 100 is rapidly approaching, and I am accepting listener stories until the very last moment. Share your stories! #Doitlady

Please follow me on all social media platforms: Thank God you're not my child!
