The area around St Germain is lovely and I am sure you will find lots of places to go to... I especially recommend the Jardin de Luxembourg if you want them to has a bit of a run around. The playground is great and there is a cute little outdoor cafe that you can have very simple food at. We also love the merry-go-round there. Also try the restaurant at the Bonpoint shop at 6 rue de Tournon, if the weather is nice you can sit outsite in the courtyard and don't feel like you are in the centre of Paris at all!

I keep myself sane with my 'thank god he eats that' list - it is the couple of healthy foods that I know he will eat, if he is having a particularly argumentative day / week / month I prepare a meal from the trust-worthy list and don't take no for an answer - we have had whole week's where he has just had fish and corn for supper every night so I don't have to have the argument, eventually he seems to get to the point where he will try something new. I also totally agree with the cooking with kids thing - I'm not so great at it (because of the mess) but my husband always does it and it is the only time we have a break-though of him trying another food. Oh and another idea (even though i wouldn't normally advocate playing with your food) we got our non-fruit and veg eating son to try rocket the other day by us eating it in handfuls as if we were lions - he didn't really like it but at least he tried!

Then also, if they don't like it u wouldn't be too disappointed. My LOs just turned 2 and knows that either they eat their food or they have to go hungry.... seems to work so far and also, I do let them help in the preparations of their meals as much as possible too, which they absolutely love. Both are extremely good eaters..... most days.

I have found that the more effort I put into a meal, the less they like it. The more adorable I find an outfit, the more they hate it. In an effort to remain sane I just turned the power over to my girls and ask them what they want ahead of time. I think 3.5-4 is all about their way or the highway and they will do just about anything to take the opposite stance.

And we all know we can/t eat those every day! I think from the age of 3.5-4 you eat what is on your plate, otherwise you will go hungry. Very simple, that's how I was raised and didn't do me any harm. I just ignore all the I don't like it calls and my oldest one knows now, there is no point to it! Good luck though, I think Susanna's suggestion is good if you have the time to let them join in in cooking. xxxKim Haha, only way to avert I don’t like it in our house is to make pancakes or waffles.

This works for husbands sometimes too! Sometimes helps if they participate in the preparation- when they are part of the proceess they are less critical of the results.
