[quote=Anonymous]As for people saying your kids have opinions, yes — kids struggle for autonomy between 3-6, power and control is a huge deal. We offered them many other parts of life where they get that control. Whether or not to only eat snacks or have an alternate dinner was not one of them. They got power by helping cook (as in, child friendly knife, mixing spices, baking and measuring) and set the table. I think if you make them part of the meal in a grown up way, that goes a long way to not having them take it out on the food.[/quote]
