Should I only take my son to Chucky Cheese?

We've been trying to get my 4 yr daughter to try new foods so I designed a reward chart for her and my 2 yr old son, so she'd have a lil competition. For trying 10 new entrees the grand prize is a trip to Chucky Cheese, neither have been there. My son has gotten 6 so far and my daughter 0. But since the chart was directed at my daughter, should I leave her at home when my son gets to 10 and she doesn't? My son doesn't understand, yet, what Chucky Cheese is so he wouldn't be upset if he didn't go. Having trouble with the 'follow thru', whatcha think?Should I only take my son to Chucky Cheese?
This is a great idea and I think you should follow through. You should celebrate your son's accomplishment by taking him to a special place even if it isn't Chuck E Cheese. That way your daughter will understand that if she really wants to go to to Chuck E Cheese, she has to start eating those entrees. She will see that you are being very serious about it and that should encourage her. You are doing the right thing. Keep it up.



Good luck! :DShould I only take my son to Chucky Cheese?
yes, i think you should only take your son because your daughter hasn't earned it yet
your son earned it, it wouldn't be fair if you didn't take him. and once you take him, he has a great time:) and comes home and tells your daughter about it, she will get jealous and try more foods and next time they can go together.:)Should I only take my son to Chucky Cheese?
Follow through. Even though your son doesn't really know the difference and couldn't care less of you go or not, you need to show your daughter that if she really does try 10 new foods then she WILL get to go to chuck e cheese.
The prize should be something other than special trips to restaurants.

The prize should be aimed for a certain child only.Should I only take my son to Chucky Cheese?
Follow through, being consistent and showing they will be rewarded only when they meet their obligations will give her an incentive to try it next time. I know it is hard and I understand how you feel. However in most cases when they see you will not cave they will begin to try harder.
Yes, just take your son.

You're daughter will probably get upset and although you will feel bad, that's good because she will realize that if she had eaten the new foods then she would have gone too.

Then you can tell her that once she gets to 6 you will take her, and that should convince her.
