[quote=Anonymous]My kids are picky too and I cook a variety of cuisines. I don't make separate meals, but I do deconstruct things. So one likes carrots but not the sauce in a stirfry so I cook the carrot separately. Another likes beans, but also not with the sauces I use for bean dishes or chili etc. So as long as it's a healthy food (like carrots or beans) I accommodate their preferences to encourage them to eat it. We tried the "I decide what to cook, you decide what to eat" method and it was a disaster for us. Yes we were consistent and clear and offered a wide variety. So while deconstructing is annoying, they're getting a wider variety of food than if I used that method and they only ate bread. [/quote]
