[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why anyone would make a 2nd meal for kids. Don't start a habit you can't continue! We started with baby led weaning at 6months and even then they got what we got, albeit mashed or cut tiny. By 18 months they ate exactly what we ate. We even have a rule that you have to try everything on your plate and you have to sit there for 15 min while everyone eats. I have a 2 and a 3.5 year old. We do fix family favorites like stuffed peppers, tortellinis or green beans, but they eat it.

I think raising your kid to be a picky eater is a huge disservice to them. [/quote]

Thank you!

I don’t understand how people even have time to name separate dinners.

The most I’ve done is separate out parts of the meal - like if my kid doesn’t want curry, then they can eat plain rice. But then plain rice is their dinner - no way am I going to cook 3 different meals for 3 kids. They’re generally happy to eat what were having. The human race survived for millennia without macncheese and chicken nuggets. I have never served those things at home (though my kids have eaten them at friends houses and restaurants and somehow they still eat regular food at home) [/quote]
