[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand this problem. Kids eat when they’re hungry. If they’re not, it’s because you’ve taught them you’ll throw away leftovers and make or buy something new. If you want to stop throwing away food, eat the food and stop throwing it away. This isn’t rocket science. [/quote]

So what do you do with the leftovers on their plate? Put it in the fridge? Tell them they HAVE to finish it?[/quote]

NP, I serve family style.  My kids take a small portion, or none if they don’t like the food.  If they do like it they take another portion.

I don’t keep what’s been on their plate, but because they only put a little bit at a time, and they only put things they want to eat, it’s not much.[/quote]

This.  But I will say, my third child is picky.  She often doesn’t want what I’ve made.  Though I do try to have at least one component I know she will like. I have zero problem with her eating fruit and cheese for dinner or a scramble egg every single night if she wanted.  It just isn’t a big deal.[/quote]

I cook dinner and put in on table.  This is dinner and I am not going to scramble an egg so eat or go without.  Picky eating is fostered by indulgent parents.[/quote]
