[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, I have never heard of Ellen Satter, nor have read her books.  I am extremely rigid about dinner, I do no short order cooking.  They either eat it or they don't.  I think that I started this around age 2.   Personally I think 1 is too young, and I would focus on giving him a selection of appopriate foods that he will actually eat.  You can also add in things from your dinner table just to have him try it.

I of course don't force my children to eat all their dinner, [b]but I still use the must eat one bite of everything method with great success in my house.  Sometimes kids get it into their minds they won't like something, then they try it, and they realize it tastes good[/b].[/quote]

PP, can you say more about how you get them to even try one bite?  Short of jamming it forcefully into their mouths, I'm not sure how you accomplish this.  I agree- once our kids actually try something, they often times like it, but it's the getting them to try it the first time which is hard.  We don't do dessert so I can't use that as a stick/carrot.[/quote]
