[quote=Anonymous]You've already received lots of advice and opinions, but will add one more as the mom of a picky eater. I would try to find a middle ground. No special foods made, but I would make an effort to see that there is something on the table that he likes. For example, if he likes grapes, I would make it a point to have grapes on the table, or on plates, when he comes. Eating a dinner roll and some grapes, along with something to drink, should be enough to keep a child from being hungry until his parent can pick him up and give him whatever s/he chooses. If you have a rule that kids have to try a bit of something before getting dessert, and he can't do that, I would probably stick to my rule, but maybe once a while announce a special "dessert for everyone" night. That eases things a bit and also shows your children that food rules need flexibility too. Good luck. [/quote]
