Raven, I swear your parenting is wise beyond your years. You seem much older than your age when it comes to raising Ziya, and if I didn’t know better I would think she was your 2nd or 3rd child. You were literally made to be her mother and I just love your parenting and how your raising her. Definitely learning a lot from you 💖
2022, I agree 100% no sugar coating. When it comes to living, taking care of business, and her daughter she is on point. What Raven have accomplished after her pregnancy. Enough said. Raven may think she's not perfect, however, she's getting the job done. 😀
by the time you got the text
B
She has one kid
Hi How did you know that I can’t go to school today but I can braid my hair and date purple so I’ll send you a picture and good luck so good luck in your vegetables in
Why does Ziya look like such a big girl in this video?!😩 She’s growing up so beautifully💕🌸
I just wanna say that I really appreciate how you work with Ziya on her eating! I grew up an extremely picky eater, ate maybe about 5 things in total. My parents would trick me into eating things and then would laugh when I said I like it, and so I became scared of trying new foods. And they would yell at me and not let me leave the table until I finished- which would sometimes be hours long. Even today, though I’m 18 now I still am picky and have super severe food anxiety (I’m diagnosed with ARFID). I never eat in front of people or go out to eat at restaurants. So I just wanna thank you for not making Ziya feel bad about what she eats or how she eats it, and for instead encouraging her to enjoy the food she tries. You’re genuinely such a great mother
Yes, I was that one kid who had to stay in the table until my plate was clean 😩 I’m taking notes from this video for future reference 😂
I grew up similarly but my case is not as severe. I'm 22 years old now, still picky but willing to try new things and if there is something I don't like, I try to cook it differently next time.
I agree with you!!!! Most parents would force their kids to finish their plate!!!! Raven attempts to feed her kid new foods. If she doesn’t eat unlike other parents who say: if you don’t eat then you get nothing: Raven caves in and gives her child things that she will eat because it’s better than going to bed on an empty tummy. And when Ziya does eat new food she congratulates her and says: good job. That’s a big girl!!! You finished your plate!!! And she questions her child: so what was your favorite thing on your plate and what wasn’t your favorite thing. She also gives her child a chance to have a say!!!! Raven is a wonderful mother and shows us the perfect ways to get a picky eater to eat without having a mealtime meltdown.
Being realistic helps parents who are really struggling. Everything being perfect sometimes adds more stress to people who are looking for help. Slow introductions to new foods are great but that worry of them starving is real. I used to be a nanny and I'd always wonder how they functioned on so little food.
you’re such a great mother. i can’t begin to express how much this means to those that didn’t get a super involved parent to see that it’s possible
“What are the things that aren’t your favorites?….. healthy things” that’s 😂 too funny. She didn’t even have to think about that answer!! Too cute. This is a great video. So helpful. Thanks for making it
Raven please like my comment.
That was really nice and I definitely agree
Yes
👍☺️
I’m with you on that girl. The more simple, the better. Ain’t got time for all that fancier cooking all the time. Life is to busy. No shame in the game. We all do it! There is nothing like a microwave! I’m lovin’ it!
You’re such a great mom, Raven! I felt that moment when you saw Ziya enjoying the vegetables with her dinner. I will remember all your tips and tricks for when I become a mom. Thanks for posting!
The texture of the veggies could be a factor too. My daughter loves steamed carrots but not raw. She loves cooked cabbage but not lettuce.
I wrote this after she didn’t eat the carrots from lunch. She ate the carrots at dinner so it’s definitely the texture lol
Yup! My son likes crunchy stuff but not soft and his friend is the total opposite
@@TobyTV are you going out to dinner tonight with your friends tonight at my parents house 🏡 🎉❤😢
I love how realistic you’re being while also giving Ziya the opportunity to choose which foods she likes. A nice and healthy balance. Also, I love your hair and Ziya is getting so big! Too adorable 💕✨
Finally a mum and a UA-camr who keeps it real with food, hallelujah!!
I think it’s so cool to see how far you’ve come not only in your food/cooking journey but also raising Ziya
Here’s a few tips I use for myself and for my picky eating:
• ask what something tastes like before hand! If trying something, sometimes the fear and the automatic dislike comes from not knowing what the food will taste of before hand. So being aware of what you’re coming into helps to settle some of that anxiety
• helping to cook! As you mentioned in the hello fresh section, being able to see what goes into the food and how it’s made can help
• start super small. Something I found helpful for myself, in order to get used to sauces (something I still struggle with) was to start with dips for fruit! I made whipped cream, cooked down strawberries, and others. Fruit is something I’m comfortable with, and the dips helped to start me on trying new dips in other sections
This is great my nieces and nephews won’t eat anything but pizza and chicken nuggets so this is so helpful 💜🙏🏽
ua-cam.com/video/4XS84FiFUUw/v-deo.html Finally it's here.
It takes lots of trials before a child has gotten used to something unfamiliar taste wise. If they don´t get to try it then how will they learn to be ok with even trying new things? The trick is to not give in because a child has been taught that if they refuse they don´t have to taste the food. And to not serve full portions of the new things, but over and over let them taste it in small portions. Sometimes it might be something more complex going on like neuropsychiatric e.g.! It usually takes around 8-10 times of trying the same thing to get used to it for a child. So it’s not about saying ”they didn’tlike it let’s try something new and never this thing again”. It’s also not about different combinations, it’s simply about getting used to that one thing alone (and that could be several different things). And it’s not something people grow out of it follows the person into adulthood, and it’s important for parents to help their child with expanding their pallette due to they are going to be in their body for several decades. Good health is also due to good and healthy food food for the body’s foundation. A child’s brain and body cells need more than white carbs, cheese and meat protein.
@@soilgrasswaterair Gosh, Thanks for the help!
I just saw a comment by you on "study to success" (estella's) video!
I do not have children but I am flabbergasted at how much useful information you have crammed into every minute of this entire video like wow I am blown away... I have been wanting to eat healthier but just the thought of it is so overwhelming and this has made proper nutrition and well balanced meals seem so much more accessible and doable
I love that you tell Ziya that she "doesn't have to eat the whole thing." Growing up, I remember my mother forcing me to finish my plate and it was slightly traumatic for me lol! It was to the point that I wouldn't eat AT ALL and was SUPER skinny as a child and my mom would have to take me to the doctor, and I got prescribed vitamin supplements! I was a VERY picky eater! So I said to myself that if I have to be forced to eat something I don't want, I will REFUSE to eat AT ALL ! Fast forward to adulthood and now my mom says, "You eat TOO MUCH!" 🤣🤣🤣 Point is, it's good to not force children to eat stuff they don't want. Flexibility is key! 👍
My mother (that adopted me) was the same exact way and I always had a weird thing with meat. I was a kid so I didn't know what veganism or any of that was but I have one vivid memory of her making me sit at the table for 3 whole hours crying because I refused to eat a hot dog. It was that way more often than not. Anything with veggies I'd eat multiple portions of but if meat was present I wasn't eating it. Like you though now I eat A LOT and even meat too! Unfortunately her and I have never had a healthy relationship but I hope you do with yours! 😊
@@ItsIvyy I "think" I have a healthy relationship with my mom 😆 But I definitely don't have the healthiest relationship with FOOD! I went from never eating AT ALL to now eating up a STORM ! And now my mother makes fun of me! But we are all a work in progress, right? 😄
@Morsels Of Gold it's totally understanding if you don't have a healthy relationship with any of your parents even if its a work in progress because then your learning to stand on your own two feet , to depend on yourself and not care about what others think, if they love you or not.
My boys absolutely love when I make them snacking boards. They ask for one every Saturday when we are home all day. I add peanuts and cashews for my little one that doesn’t like any sandwich meats! Some times I add granola as well 🖤
I love how ziya don't say much lol just smile and nod ,she to sweet 💕
I love how you let her be herself. I could cry 💖
I think Ziyah's problem with the cucumber and hummus was the texture. I like cucumbers with the Olive Garden dressing or white vinegar, salt, and pepper. 😋 I love how you adress Ziyah's needs to help develop her independence.
Here I am hella proud of Ziya for finishing her smooth and her breakfast plate! You’re doing a great job Raven!
As a mom of two who's biggest anxiety is feeding my children right... thank you for this video! Also, thank you so much for making this realistic!
I love how brave Ziya is in trying food, she is fearless and not scared, wish i could be like that
I always love to see Ziya helping in the kitchen, she is so such a wonderful little helper. Great job eating your veggies Ziya!!!
I was a picky eater growing up also. My mom chose other veggies like pickles, corn, peas, green beans. Now my Granny 👵 got me to eat veggies by lightly dusting sugar over all my vegetables. I then ate it all. Yeah she hashing cheated. But it worked soon after I ate them without sugar.😋👩🌾
I like that Raven is telling us the truth and giving us realistic facts about how she prepares her daughter meals and she's not putting on a fraud pretending like everything is healthy and she's getting everything from her garden, because I see a lot of videos like that on UA-cam when the camera is on you see children eating all of this healthy fruits and vegetables but what do they eat when they're not on camera when they're not on UA-cam because some of these parents are giving people the impression that all their children do is eat healthy foods and never eat anything good or exciting that they like to eat, but at least Raven is being real because I know no child in the world is going to want to eat only healthy fruits and vegetables all the time
I love how she doesn’t force her to eat she’s doing a very good job at parenting and she’s very calm with her I love it I love it 🥰
She reminds me of me when I was younger. I only liked green beans, corn, potatoes and raw carrots as veggies, I didn’t even like pasta lol. Now I’m a foodie so hang in there our taste buds change all the time.
😊😊😊 I love this. Raven is such a great mom and Ziya is so sweet💜.
Love your videos wow ziyah is getting so big! Thanks for this video because just like a hour ago I had a huge debate battle with my daughter on her wanting cereal breakfast lunch and dinner. But your video is streamed onto our TV and she saw you cooking and told me that looks so good 🤣 you may have helped me break the cycle so thank you 😊 ❤
I follow you around 5 years and I’m so proud of you for raising a child like Ziya! You are probably the best mom! I’m sure that’s Ziya will be a great woman as her mom ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love You both 🫶🏼
That lunch for Ziya looks awesome and very creative
Raven is a dope mom. Great balance of im the parent but you are your own person.
I love that she is willing to try new things!
Can't wait for Zaya's birthday vlog ❤️
Great on the timing I understand the realness of preserving time when you are a parent🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you for being real because let’s be honest most of us are feeding our kids the same way. For those who aren’t that’s cool too! 🌸#kidsfed #goalmet
Seeing a cleared plate is the best!!!!!
6 already ?? Ziya is growing up so fast !
Okay but I just realized how long I’ve been watching you just based on Ziya’s age!! I got here right when you went to college like wooww!!!
Ziya is a big girl! She did a great job as your sous chef 👨🍳
I'm taking notes right now! I've actually read articles that say that microwaving actually maintains nutrients in food better than most cooking methods.
I was always a picky eater, still to this day! I don’t eat condiments, avocados/bananas in their natural state(texture), salads, pickles-the list goes on! But my mom never made it a problem or forced me to eat anything I didn’t care for. My pallet is still expanding it just takes time
I love your nails raven! And I love how your letting Ziya try and figure out what she likes and doesn’t like i can tell that it is really helping her
I love how real she is being in this video in comparison to other videos and I would actually make this bc its easy and convenient love this💕💕
Ziya is growing up so fast and she has beautiful eye lashes. The food looked yummy
For smoothies, I like to buy flavored Greek yogurt when they go on sale & freeze them. Super easy to use whenever you need them, they add a ton of protein and creamy flavor. I also like to freeze pomegranate juice in an ice cube tray for the antioxidants and ease of use. Yummm
i’m not even a mom and your videos literally make my day! ❤️
Have you ever tried stepping out of the American diet? Trying more outside foods and flavors?
Also Raven. What's your diet like? Being a mommy of two. My babies love what I love and they're 2 and 5. I know eating is also seeing what mommy and daddy indulge in.
i eat a lot of international foods, Asian and Mediterranean are my favorites right now, i eat/cook those types weekly. And definitely have exposed Ziya to all kinds of non-american foods. She tends to be hesitant about unique textures and strong flavors no matter what country it's from lol
Super fun vlog! Good choices getting Ziya to eat a balanced diet and of course having her help cook teaches her cooking skills. Well done! 🥰❤️🦋
So cute!!! 💛
I love how you encourage Ziya to try new things. I am having a hard time getting my 2 year old to try new things. I have been giving in lately. I just cook the foods that I know he will like but I will continue to give him new options.
Hey Raven! I am a chef that has worked with kids picky and adventurous and it is amazing that you get her to cook with you. One thing that really helps picky kids is getting them to help you prepare the food. Have you tried zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash, or butternut squash? If she'll eat carrots and noodles you might have luck with those things. She's just too precious, loved how you kept you advice so realistic and shame free
Raven you’re doing amazing. I cannot stand the online nutritionist community, people gotta eat what they can afford and wants easy for their life. Not everyone can cook 3 meals a day from scratch using all natural and organic ingredients ok.
THIS! like please save it for someone who cares. Do what works for you and YOUR kids.
You really helped me a lot , I have struggle with my 4+year daughter and always feel bad about what I give her to eat, finding what she really likes. I will try to encourage her instead of forcing her to eat ,thanks again you opened my eyes to a new way of serving her the food and dealing with the hall thing☺️
Your kid videos are always my go to! They are extremely helpful! Ziya is so lucky and blessed. She has the best Mom!
This is why you’re my favorite UA-camr.
i love the charcuterie board idea! its a cool way to get any kid to get excited about trying new and healthy foods bc they get to be creative with the various dips
This video definitely relatable for my current struggle with my 5 year old
Ziya is adorable. Great job on getting her to try new things. I think it is awesome how patient you are with her. 😊
Ziya has go so big I remember when she was just a little baby 😊
Keep offering up the veggies like you are doing. It takes multiple times during different stages of the month. Thank you for showing great examples for your viewers.
Can I please have more of this 😭 You just made my mornings so much easier! I need more food ideas for the kids. That are easy and convenient.... I can find fancy recipes everywhere else but this is exactly what I’ve been searching everwhere for... cooking is NOT easy for me.
She's so happy to hear you say good things🥰
IM SORRY BUT THE FACE ZIYA MADE WHEN HELPING U WITH DINNER 😂 she is adorable 💖
I love the fact that you keep it real better some of the videos I watch where they show their kids eat healthy 24/7 and how they make these fancy schmancy meals your daughter and I got a lot in common I'm kind of a picky eater there are lots of food I do not eat the one time my friend put some spinach in my smoothie but he hit it with blueberries and strawberries she put it in the freezer and told me it was ice cream🤣🥰🤣🥰
In the Netherlands those “mini pancakes” are called “Poffertjes” 😋 (pancakes are “pannenkoeken”, we have a whole different word for the mini ones)
This is a wonderful idea! I have 3 boys and this gives them a chance to have a variety. This is a easy clean up and they can snack on throughout the day. Love ur videos Raven, always gives me something fun to do with my lovely kiddos.
You're a great Momma and Ziyah is a sweetheart with a great appetite! Enjoy the time you have with her while she is young because when she is a teenager she might be kicking you to the curb. lol.
Omg raven i comment on ur little gif omg I just love how you just parent her it’s perfect!! I love you and her I love y’all’s videos, and yea!
Loved this. I'm glad you give her a say so as well.
Has ziya ever tried roasted snow peas they taste just like french fries a little salt and pepper and roast them in the oven until they get crispy and a light golden brown
ziya is a total vibe
I just love seeing Chef at work in the kitchen. 😊 I don't have kids yet but I learned a lot from this video!
I love watching you and your baby. She is so cute and smart 😍 I like the way you let her help with cooking. She was learning and bonding with you at the same time. It's fun watching you guys.
She’s literally so adorable!
Thank you for sharing this! My daughter will be 2 in June and she's so picky. I was running out of ideas to help her eat more foods and this video really helped. And I can't believe Ziya is already 6!!
Thank you for being realistic. I am a mom of 2 and balance is major in my house. I'm still searching for fun, colorful meals but my kids are so stuck in their ways lol
I honestly can't believe ziya is already turnings six in a month I could litterlay remember I was 9 years old and I loved to watch u guys and ziya was a little baby and now iam 13years old and still here I love u guys so much and u guys mean the world to me, ❤️🌍
Man I love when I see 30 min or more durations of your videos☺️
Raven and Ziya thank you for keeping real with your morning time breakfast routine
So cute! At least now you know she’ll eat veggies if you roast them. ❤️
i love how you don’t try and force her to eat what she doesn’t like. i didn’t have much of a choice growing up 😂
My granddaughters are picky too.this gives me a idea what to feed them when they come over my house. They are 6 and 7
This is indeed helpful. It gives a different perspective on how to serve kids their food. Thank you!
I love the what I eat in a day videos.
Ziya is the cutest. This video was so helpful. My 11 month old is a picky eater already, so I struggle with giving him anything but formula. Will definitely be trying some of these ideas.
Not gonna lie I fix boards for my dinner all the time. And it looks a lot like the one you made for her!! Only I add mixed nuts and cherry tomatoes. And as odd as it sounds but carrots and peanut butter are good together
Hey baby girl!!!!! The thumbnail has me hungry!!!! Almost 2 million subscribers Raven!!!!🥰🥰🥰
Aesthetic Authenticity...love it. here for it.
Ziya just melts my heart every time 🥹🥹
Reaven your the best mother ever
My mom every day learn new things and im rreally happy that ziya has you as a mother
My son is a picky ish eater. I don’t force him to eat food he doesn’t like either but I do cut out snacks if he doesn’t eat at least some of his meals!
A salad dressing (Ranch, French) for dipping the veggies or Chick Filet sauce would probably encourage her. Also, I think the cucs need 2 have the skin paired off.
Literally exactly what I do for my sons breakfast ! Switch out waffles and oatmeal too. I work from home so all of this has to be done on the clock so 5min mess are life!
She said the mash potato don't taste like French fries lol. Too cute
Thank you for this. I’m definitely doing their break fast and lunch like this because they can do it themselves and it’s quick for me since I work from home
i love how organized her fridge is
Thanks for keeping it real! My son is super picky, this was helpful ❤️
Good job Ziyah! You are an excellent kitchen helper ❤️
