i knew discomfort is a massive factor in childrens behaviour and eating patterns…but tbh i did not even think of it this way..thanks for sharing

Such a simple fix. My kids were never as fussy as my hubby is tho, he’s shocking, very spoilt by his mum

We allowed our daughter to be fussy, we tried to please her, at 7 she is finally liking roasts, gravy and different meats other than chicken. It was a long struggle

This is interesting. I thought I may have stumbled on a magic solution but I realised my child’s high chair has a footrest so probably not relevant.

Hadn’t thought of that.

Really interesting reading. Mine complain of pins and needles when seated. Will give this a go.

A good one to share with this community – thanks!

Ours has a rail on it the kids put their feet on.

Wow, never thought of it like that but pins and needles would put me off eating too.

I never would have thought of this, but even if it’s ridiculous to correlate this with fussiness, the general idea is brilliant. I will definitely be trying this with my tot! Thanks for sharing!

Worth a shot!

Interesting theory. My 16 month old swings his legs around a lot when sitting in his highchair, wonder if this is connected to the theory or totally unrelated.

This theory makes sense when its explained like that. My kids never seemed to have an issue thankfully. They’ve always looked forward to meal times. Helping with the dishes later is another story.
