Tee has been a fussy eater but with a lot of creativity and child psychology, I have managed to get her to eat, and love eating. She has never had a problem eating, just that she knows what she likes and what she doesn’t like, limiting her food fare to countable options. She does not like anything black or brown. If there are black seeds or anything that resembles bugs, forget it. If any food looked remotely dark in colour, forget it. She wouldn’t even want to try.
The one thing I have still not succeeded in making her eat is durian. But I think she just has her father’s genes in that. He cannot stand the sight nor smell of durian. But I shall persist *evil laughter*
With everything else, I am lucky in identifying what clicks with her, what is important to her and what she likes doing or what she likes people to think of her. It takes an incredible amount of knowing your child to get to this stage. A LOT of talking, a LOT of observation. Once you know your child’s strengths and weaknesses, you can then almost get anything done by manipulating situations to work. It is about getting them to see other perspectives. A lot of patience is required.
Thus, I am proud to announce that I have since achieved in getting Tee to eat what she used to refuse, Kiwi fruit, the one with the evil black seeds. We are now working on Dragon fruit. She already eats bitter gourd and ladies fingers, raw garlic, sashimi (raw fish), salmon roe and caviar, and a lot of other food not usually appreciated by children her age. It’s all about psyching that little head of theirs!
Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.
Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.
She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.
A beautiful life without limits.
If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.
Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.
Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.


What a coincidence that just last week, I managed to persuade Abilash to try kiwi fruit & now he’s ok with it.
