Show 1 Negative Remarks 1 By NANCY MOORE THURMOND THUR-MOND At your next meal, take pad Z and pencil. Put a mark on the paper for every order or nega-3 nega-3 tive statement you or your hus-' hus-' band make. Now, how would .. you feel if forty-seven com- mands were shot at you from both sides within thirty minutes? mi-nutes? THE opposite problem may also surface during mealtime. i Your child may feel this is the I only time his parents are cap tive within earshot, and consequently, conse-quently, he seizes the opportunity oppor-tunity to make demands for attention and requests for special spe-cial foods. It is a good idea to serve all members of the family the same food, unless someone is on baby food or allergic to what is being served. OTHERWISE, you will quickly find that each person will order something different at every meal. You will be running run-ning a short-order drive-in restaurant res-taurant instead of a home. |
