I really like these suggestions for getting kids to eat a different way (specifically paleo, but they can be adapted to other eating styles as well).
I’ve been looking for some good resources on transitioning kids to a different way of eating, as it’s always been a struggle with Mikko (5.5) to encourage him to eat the foods I wished he ate (there’s a much longer story behind that, but I’ll keep it there for now), and now Alrik (1.5) is getting his own pickiness. Due to some reading I’ve been doing lately, I’ve been convicted that grains aren’t doing us any favors and Sam and I have cut them out, but we’ve had differing opinions on whether the boys should also lose them (I’m in favor; Sam’s on the fence) and just how to do it if so. I like the general idea of a gradual, kid-friendly approach, taking it slowly and in phases. (We’re not eating strict paleo, and I think the idea of gradual transitioning could work for any diet, except when immediate health concerns force a sudden change.)
Yea! It feels more doable. Wish us luck…

Lots of hefty content this week! =) Good reads, thanks! And thanks for the shoutout =) xo.
Wow, my post got 700 hits (normally I get around 50)!! Even though people are not commenting, they are reading. =)
@melissa v.: Yea! :) I'm always amazed & happy when sharing people's posts makes a difference.
I've seen comments drop off a lot lately — I suspect it's people reading a lot on their phones now. Or, in your case, maybe it's just that people are so blown away by your wisdom they have nothing to add. :)
