[quote=Anonymous]I never force my kids to eat dinner or even to try new foods. My parents had the 3 bite rule and I had a truly limited diet until my late 20s as a result of forcing myself to eat eat foods I truly didn't like. Instead, we have family dinners at least 5 nights a week. Each of our kids must sit down for th he duration of the meal and can eat or not eat whatever they like. Then we clean up which takes another 15 to 20 minutes. If they haven't eaten they are welcome to a peanut butter sandwich. This waiting game has resulted in no fights and all of my kids begin to pick at what's on the table out of hunger. Only rarely has one of the 3 eaten a sandwich. [/quote]
