[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is only 2.5 so perhaps take my advice with a grain of salt. But he eats what is served or he doesn't eat. We don't force him to eat, but we are very firm that what is available is what is served. We try to hold really firm to this to prevent the issue spiraling into picky eating as he gets older. Earlier this week he didn't want to eat what we made, so eventually he went to bed without having had dinner. He did, in fact, survive until his next meal - breakfast.[/quote]

You are doing the right thing.  I have 2 kids 7&11 and ive never made separate meals. Theyve always eaten adult food. We are a teo income home and i put in a huge effort to put a home cooked from scratch meal on the table and have no time to waste efforts on extra options that are not nearly as healthy.

Our best friends have kids the same age and when they come to dinner they bring their own frozen dinosaur nuggets for their kids. Both of their kids have never in their entire lives tried a green vegetable.[/quote]
