[quote=Anonymous]Dinner is put on the table. It's the same for everyone: green vegetable, protein of some kind, plus something like pasta or rice or couscous. We talk and eat. We deliberately try to make dinner fun for our two year old. If that means having small plastic animals pretend to eat with him, so be it. The adults do not have adult conversaton as that is boring for kids. We do not force or encourage any eating of food. It's my job to make healthy food available. It's their job to decide how much to eat. If I am introducing something new, I just say "This is XXX" in a matter of fact way and make no statement about how good it will be or whether they should try it. At the end, regardless of what has been eaten, there is fruit. Usually some berries or a cut up pear or apple, etc.[/quote]
