How do you guys make friends in a new town?
Hi there, I’ve been told that Deloitte (London, UK) is going to make me an offer but haven’t heard back and it’s been over two weeks. The recruiter mentioned it would be around the “m2 grade”. Any idea what this pay range is? … I have 3 YOE working in NHS finance and have applied for a position in Risk Advisory, public sector. Curious what life at Deloitte is like? Does a work life balance exist?

Yep. It's a stressful phaze.
They dont starve themselves. They are just busy exploring other things that eating isn't a priority. That's what our pediatrician says. My wife and I, both are EY and take turns with the travel schedule. Its ridiculously stressful. Just keep experimenting with foods.
Most importantly, never ever force food.
You got this.
Offer hem food, healthy snacks, fruits etc and make sure the kids have access to them. Keep some Cheerios etc (non perishables) etc around when they play. Kids will eat when they are hungry. Not all kids eat to their stomach full. It’s a phase..
As long as they are not losing weight and the doctors aren't worried don't stress about it. They will eat when hungry. Just offer different it an assortment of stuff. When you let go of the worry it all gets easier.
@P2 - I couldn’t stop laughing at the video 😂😂😂.
How old are they?
Our pediatrician keeps saying kids don’t starve themselves. Just keep offering. If you’re worried about malnutrition, do ensure or pediasure or similar shakes. To them it’s like flavored milk
How long? Kids go though phases like this starting as toddlers. I wouldn’t stress.
Give them food they like.
They eat a little bit now and then. But doesn’t seem like they are getting enough. Sometimes they go an entire day without eating a solid meal. Causing a lot of anxiety between my wife and I.
It’s normal. Toddlers want power and food is really their only source. Keep offering. Try to set a routine around food. There is a great book called how toddlers thrive - life changer for me.
How old are they (are they talking/understanding)? My 28 month old goes through random days where he doesn't want to eat anything we offer him, but as soon as he hears one of us snacking in the kitchen he comes darting in for whatever it is we're having... Perhaps eat often in front of them, make them jealous. If I eat and say he can't have it, some how it makes him want to eat
As others have said, it’s a phase, and very common. My twins went through a period where one refused to eat meat and the other refused to eat vegetables, which was super helpful. Now aged 4, they’re mostly over it, and reliably eat most things - provided they are hungry. Snacking or messing with their meal routine - too early, to late - does bring some of the old problems back though.
My 3 1/2 year old is the same way. We've figured out what he likes and branch out from there. Hamburgers are flat meatballs. We clarify if he wants noodles or pasta and give him that (yes, they're the same thing.) He ate breaded shrimp the other night, but I think he right it was nuggets.
We set a timer at every meal to encourage him to eat and put consequences when he doesn't finish like no cartoons or no desserts.
Agree with above posts. Offer them healthy meals and theyll eat if theyre hungry. I have a 4 yo and 2 yo and some meals/days they barely eat and other days they eat as much or more than me. On the average it works out. As long as youre offering healthy food youre doing your job
My work here is done 😊
My daughter only eats Frozen (Disney) yogurt and apple sauce lol I have no idea what to do
That means she’s not that hungry. Maybe she’s snacking all day, I dont know, but if they’re hungry kids will eat
