[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did not at that age. We started eating together when DC was 5.

I always disliked the "eat as a family" emphasis. Neither the timing nor the menu worked for us.  It's not like you can never start, later, when it does make sense.[/quote]

Can you explain what you mean by the menu didn't work?  [/quote]

DP. I don’t believe in forcing kids to eat foods they don’t like or threatening they will go hungry. [/quote]

NP. So if your kids don’t like vegetables, they never have to eat them? [/quote]

No I do force vegetables. But I don’t force any smelly, saucy, or exotic foods. [/quote]

Whoa whoa. Whats exotic to you is home cooking to some. My preschooler's favorite food has been home made sour cabbage since she was 2. It may be stinky to some but delicious to us and her and she'll drink the juice from it straight out of the jar if i let her. A ton of immigrant friends cook their non american cuisines every day spice and sauce and all kids of all ages devour them. [/quote]
