[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At what age does spreading out a selection of foods and letting your child pick what they are going to eat stop? Because most people don't eat meals at a buffet. Most people eat meals like this: appetizer, main course, dessert. So at some point you're doing your DC a disservice to continue letting them act like a toddler learning to eat and not teaching them to eat like everyone else. What point is that? My guess is when they enter school. OP's child is no longer a toddler.[/quote]

I put everything we are having for dinner on the table. DH and I let our kids choose what they want to eat.

Including dessert?[/quote]

We don’t usually have dessert [/quote]

LOL then what is your contribution to this thread, which is about whether preschoolers should be allowed to eat cookies before the sandwich?[/quote]

DP— Because not eating dessert doesn’t mean not eating oats and bananas. When we do baked oatmeal it goes on the table with everything else and isn’t a “treat”[/quote]

Why are you making baked oatmeal cookies with oats and bananas?  That sounds like baby food, not something that actual kids or adults would ever eat.  Serve your kid food, not "healthy baby food".  [/quote]
