Fussy Eaters

 Parent: 

I hate the “eat it or leave it” style that we are accustomed to. Please help.

Maybe try Subway Style. Like serving the ingredients and have them make their own burgers, sandwiches, fried rice, fried noodles, etc. 


Once in a while, have “Steamboat”. If you’re Asian, you’ll know what this means. It is also called “hotpot” where everyone cooks only what they want to eat. The pot is in the Centre of the table and there’s also a grilling plate.


You can also try different menus and have the kids be in charge of different meals. So they prep and cook, and you help (the other way).


Then again, kids really need to eat their veggies. And one of the main things here is their attitude. As parents, it is our job to build good character — discipline, etc. so if they just eat what they want, that will not do any good for their bodies or their character development. Just my two cents.


And then again, the right parenting tip here is to educate them on how important fruits and veggies are and to actually Convince them to eat them rather than threaten. 


Hope this helps.

Previously "forced" to get baptized and speak in tongues?

Get baptized again. Nothing wrong with that. At least this time, it's from your heart. You don't HAVE to speak in tongues immediately. But some people learn by following others first, that's possible, not always the case. Some just get it without anyone teaching them. But no, it's not mocking to teach it. Everyone is different, that's all. But the question now is whether you want to learn to speak in tongues or not. I believe God created tongues for us to use, and He had a reason for it. Romans 8:26 "Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." What probably should have been done is to first share with you the main reason for baptism. John 1:4-5 "John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5 Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, ...

Passover

Tell them about how Easter started — the goddess Eostre, the goddess of spring and fertility, and how it represents Easter eggs and bunnies and why we don’t celebrate it.  And that we celebrate Passover with lambs because Jesus is the Lamb of God and celebrated the Passover. And how Passover was taken away because the Jews were blamed for killing Jesus so everything Jewish was removed by Constantine - including all the other important feasts we were supposed to celebrate. Although the Apostle Paul himself celebrated the Passover (1 Cor 5:6-8), and said Christ is our Passover, asking us to “Keep the Feast of the Passover”. The rest of the early church kept the Passover. So we celebrate the Passover with Jesus as the Lamb, and the afikoman that was hidden signifies Jesus body that was broken because it was the afikoman that Jesus took and said, “this is my body that was broken..”. It was ‘after the feast’ that he ‘took the bread’. That bread is called the afikoman — the last bread af...
