[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I require her to try everything. If she absolutely flat-out refuses, I revisit it another time and don't create drama. But usually she will at least try a bite or two. Especially if I start eating some of the food in question! She likes to be like the adults. [/quote] OP here, it sounds like you are most like my relative. How would you handle this circumstance: Large family gathering, 25 people, maybe 15 dishes on the table, some of which your kid likes and is familiar with, and some they either don't like or aren't familiar with. Would you still expect them to try everything? Ask that the menu be paired down to not overwhelm them? Choose which things they try? Let them choose with parameters? Say "It's Christmas! We'll go back to the rules tomorrow? [/quote]
