[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If kids are hungry, they will eat. I'm not suggesting you make a spicy squid curry, but cook them regular food. With perseverance they will eat it.[/quote]

Not OP but I have picky kids who will eat about half of what is on OP's list.  They just don't care about not eating dinner.  They know they are going to get food that they like at breakfast and lunch.  It's really frustrating.[/quote]

so I do too, and I sort of just let them. I make what I want to for dinner (hey, I am the cook!) and its usually veggie heavy, etc. That being said, my kids are good eaters elsewhere and while not fat (they are 2 and 4), they are not skinny, so its not like we are falling off the growth curve or anything. my younger one is pickier, but I usually won't cater to his taste unless he is sick and I need to get calories into him (then I bring out the big guns, like mac and cheese, which I personally can't stand but he loves) and lay off offering the veggies. he was super picky for a while around veggies and then suddenly started hoovering the veggies last night???

to be honest, they have come around unless its super spicy or super smelly, and if they are hungry, they will fill up on fruit, rice and yogurt, which I don't mind.

that being said - we do a lot of veggies and in multiples ways. I roast broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, I made mashed potatoes out of cauliflower, I do chicken sausage, spinach and onions, basically I try to make sure we have 2 or 3 different veggies in each meal[/quote]
