[quote=Anonymous]I generally serve my kids the regular meal I've made for dinner, and make sure there are a few items I know they will eat that don't require extra time for prep (usually yogurt, fruit and raw veggies). I encourage them to try everything but don't make it a struggle/battle. I also do make it a policy that you have to put in a good effort on dinner if you want dessert :) My parents made me "clean my plate" with things I really hated as a kid and I still remember it being miserable for all of us. I still remember a several-hour standoff over a hot dog (I thought they were vile). I became a vegetarian early and have been one for 25 years because I really just didn't like meat from the time I was small- I eat pretty much anything that isn't meat/fish though!

I'd consider making extra of your veggie pancakes and hard boiled eggs (or other things that will keep in the fridge) and give those to her at meal times along with the normal meal, and give her a greek yogurt. The list has a lot of variety and healthy things!

Agree with the previous posters that it would be weird to push processed "kid" foods. Honestly if you go out to a restaurant and she doesn't eat or doesn't eat much it's not a big deal for one meal IMO. [/quote]
