[quote=Anonymous]The rule in our house is that you have to try some of everything on your plate. If you do not like any of it, you can have a peanut butter sandwich (two pieces of bread and peanut butter) and a glass of milk. The other rule is that you are not allowed to talk smack about the dinner being served, period. I try to have at least one thing on the plate that I know DD (age 7) will actually eat, or modify things slightly so that she will be more likely to eat them (e.g., sauce on the side, steam some broccoli instead of roasting it, leave off the spice) but the only situations in which I will make her an entirely separate dinner is if I really want something that I know she won't eat (something spicy, something using ingredients she hates that can't be separated).[/quote]
