Have you every tried to convince a young child to eat a food they don't want to? They will insist they don't like it, despite having never tasted it before.

Just take the bite, go all in. You want them to be present in the moment to experience the sensation and flavor of what they are eating.

Of course, they don't. They either like it, and mindless consume because it is tasty, or they refuse. Either outcomes depending on their personality, really.

But ultimately you want the child to be there in the moment. Feeling, experiencing, and present. This is what life is all about. And we need to keep trying to teach that-be present in the moment. Go all in.
