[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the other posters. If you back way off on what you want the kid to eat and just feed them, they will start to expand their palates. Perhaps your child likes the bonding experience of a McDonalds meal out with their other parent. Perhaps it’s fun to get an ice cream cone after a hot day riding bikes. If you back off pushing the healthy stuff and enjoy the family meals together, without commenting on their food choices, they very likely will start eating a wider range of foods. My 7 year old all of a sudden one day decided spinach was his favorite vegetable. Why? Popeye. Now I serve spinach in some form 2-3 times a week and he loves it. I didn’t say, “eat spinach”. He came to the grocery store with me and asked what “those green leaves” were and said, oh! Popeye eats that. Can we have that for dinner this week? [/quote]
