[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We struggle with this as well- but even worse than catering to the picky eater is having [b]him then not eat the specially prepared meal [/b]to suit his pickiness!  I have totally given up.   Our 5 YO now knows that he gets nothing after dinner except his leftover dinner if he doesn't eat.  So if he eats a reasonable meal, he can have a snack before bed.  If not, his dinner goes in the fridge, and he can have the rest of it before bed if he wants.  If not, he can have breakfast in the morning.  It's actually working out quite well.  I make sure not to including anything I know he finds repulsive, though.  But I consider any standard meat / veg / fruit fair game as long as it's not spicy.   I also think it's fair to always offer something you know the kid likes that's decent, like bread, cheese, fruit.  I know, for example, that my kid is not going to eat sautéed spinach, but he will eat frozen mixed veggies, so I'll quickly heat up a little portion for him.  [/quote]
