[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should focus on put-together meals so that each person has control over what is on their plate. Most obvious example: taco bar. Or, making the protein separately from the sauces, and then letting your kid put whatever sauce (even if it's ketchup) on his food. I used to make pasta, but would make sauce separately from the cut-up hotsmokes (or you can use loose sausage or bratwursts or italian sausages), so people could choose whether to mix the pasta with sauce, dip pasta into sauce, whether to eat sausages separately, together, or not at all. Etc. If he's in a good mood on occasion, invite him to taste your food. Eventually he may start adding sauce to his food--or not. (Hope you don't mind that last bit, it wasn't what you asked for, but that's what worked for us.)[/quote] This is what we do. It’s not perfect but it makes life easier. And we’ve gotten him to try more foods this way. [/quote]
