[quote=Anonymous]OP I agree with you and think is more common than it is promoted. It is "we eat together and the same meal but it is modified for different palates". On fish night we make both salmon and fish sticks. We put a piece of salmon on my son's plate; but sometimes, I want fish sticks vs salmon. I am not a huge seafood person. On breakfast night, we might make eggs pot sausage burritos with fruit. We have burritos but our son may just have everything separated out and not rolled in a tortilla. 
My kid is a bit difficult because he doesn't eat a lot of dairy. He can only handle up to yogurt on the dairy spectrum and he hates mac-n-cheese and mashed potatoes. He would eat rice every night if we let him. We are all doing our best with what we have to deal with. He doesnt get the benefit of the calories/protein/fat of milk like most kids so I have to accommodate a bit more during our meals. If you make some fantastic gourmet soup but serve it with bread, milk, and veggies/fruit to your kid and they eat all of that but not the soup of course it seems like your plan is working. It doesnt work when they only eat 1/2 piece of bread and fruit. Then they wake up in the middle of the night hungry. [/quote]
