[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]

Kids have different palates and tastes, just like you.  Sometimes they are born with preferences and there isn't very much you can do when a kid doesn't like something.  My oldest and youngest eat what we eat and their palates match ours. The middle child won't eat 75% of what we eat. They were all raised and fed in the same way.  She just happens to have her own palate, much like other humans.[/quote]
