[quote=Anonymous]+1 Only you can determine what is the optimal situation for your family in terms of eating together or apart. I would be more concerned that your kids are picky and you feed them their preferred (fairly bland) foods. Particularly if they are picky, how do you see them transitioning to adult meals? My kids are 6/8/10 and have always eaten the family meal, albeit sometimes deconstructed. I do think it has helped them be better eaters - one naturally likes trying new foods while the other just eats to survive, but all are good at eating a variety. The adults/older siblings helps normalize eating less palatable vegetables; it also allows them to see that while we all might have favorite/least favorite foods, we eat to be healthy not bc we like it. And now the older ones are increasing their spice levels, which I thought would never happen. [/quote]
