[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks so much for all of the advice.  I tell them regularly that it is my job to give them healthy food, their job to eat it or not.

PP here.  If your child is getting to the point of breakdowns at the table, that's the big difference i was talking about.  if you really accept that it's your job to offer and leave it at that, instead of requiring him to try whatever you made and him having the choice of something he doesn't like or no food, then there's no reason for your child to breakdown and have to leave the table.  Given the variety of foods he eats, doesn't sound like a sensory issue, but an evaluation couldn't hurt of this is really making your meals miserable.

As far as food between meals, I don't require permission to eat, but I only make food certain times of the day so if you want it you have to be able to make it yourself.  My only rule is that you can't take from my supply for the meals I've planned.  This works because my little one doesn't eat many snacks and if she does, it's usually a tube of yogurt, and my teenager eats non stop from the time he gets up until he goes to bed.  [/quote]
