[quote=Anonymous]I started following Ellyn Satter’s advice when dd was 4. I make sure there is something at the table that she will eat. I veered in expecting a no-thank you bite if the food wasn’t spicy. I also offered a deconstructed version of what we were eating such taking out some meat and veggies for her before adding beans to chili (she’s eating a few beans now, but her first several attempts weren’t promising). At 10, she has a lot more curiosity about and willingly tries new things. I make things I want at least once a week (ie salmon/fish) and let dd pick at least 2-3 of the meals (current favorites are pesto pasta, chicken Milanese, crepes, and Swedish meatballs). DH tends to like classics like beef stew, pizza, chicken piccata, and shepherd’s pie, so I make sure to put one of his faves on the menu each week. Nobody gets something different, but there are always options to eat just part of the meal.[/quote]
