Congrats to our winner Tracy!
I'll admit it I've gone *PRETTY FAR* to get my– skinny as a rail I'm not sure how his tiny neck holds up his head–son to eat his dinner. If I could I'd hire a full-time clown to come in at dinner time and perform tricks for an hour to distract him , and keep his mouth agape so that I could shovel in the food while he was distracted by the balls being juggled in the air.
Which is why the new “Ragú Asks” ad campaign which launched with intentionally over-the-top video series designed to entertain as they dramatize and exaggerate parents' unexpectedly comical moments of compromise to show that whatever concessions they've made (or consider making) COMPLETELY resonated with me!
No one can deny that parenthood is filled with countless rewards. However, most would agree that one of the biggest challenges is getting the kids to eat well. Most parents will do whatever it takes to triumph in a suppertime scuffle… even if it means letting kids dine dressed in a tutu and rain boots or serving spaghetti in the bathtub. The stories are endless (and endlessly entertaining).

I wish I could say I did something funny like the Mom in the Christmas Story, “How does the piggy eat?” I hide spinach in smoothies and give out stars for trying new foods and cover the table in paper like at a restaurant so they can color. Not so funny any of that right. The one funny thing I do is let my potty training 2 year old eat dinner in the nude! As long as she’s eating, I don’t care what she is wearing. That for sure would look bizarre (note- we do not do this with company over)
When my daughter was 3 she decided she was going to be a vegetarian because she didn’t want to kill animals. I was really proud. But no one else in our family is a vegetarian so cooking two meals got hard. My husband decided to tell her that hamburger grew on trees so she would eat it. The sad thing is she bought it! She has since given it up but still keeps her animal rights values and for a girl growing up in Montana, that’s a big deal. And I’m still proud.
I don’t have children at this time, but I am enjoying the stories. Most people that I know have the opposite problem, they need to know when to stop eating, myself included, LOL!

The craziest thing we ever did to get our son to eat (and mind you, we were very desperate) was to tell him the police were coming to take him to kid jail if he didn’t eat. It worked but we never stooped that low again.
