[quote=Anonymous]With our 2.5 yo twins, I make meals and always include one or two items that they'll definitely eat. I give them a small portion of what they like. They gobble it up and then ask for more. I tell them that they have to eat a bite of what I want them to eat to get another portion of what they want. If they don't eat what I ask them to eat, then I visibly put the food they like "away" like on the counter instead of on the table. They eventually will eat one bite of "don't want it" to get another few bites of what they want. It works for me, but then this is all they've known since they started eating. As for when to eat, if you eat later with DH, you might want to consider making a small portion of food to sit and eat with your daughter. In my experience, kids will eat better if they eat with a parent than if they are eating alone. Kids watch parents and mimic what they do. Seeing you eating a portion of what is on their plate sometimes will encourage them to do what you are doing. So, even if you only eat a few bites of what they are eating, you should sit down and have a plate/dish with a portion of what they are eating so that they can see you eating with them.[/quote]
