[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what do you guys suggest doing to prevent picky eaters?

My son is 1.5 and very picky already.  I do tough love and just feed him whatever it is available.  Many times he throws it or won’t touxh it.  He’ll go to bed without any dinner.  I’m not doing separate meals for a child unless it’s truly something that isn’t kid appropriate (sushi, sweetgreen etc).

Why is sushi and Sweetgreen not kid appropriate? That’s your problem right there. A 1.5 yo can easily eat all parts of sushi... the fish, rice, edamame, cucumver, avocado. We never ever forced our kids to eat anything and never would dream of sending them to bed without dinner. We always had a varied spread and they always found something to eat. This is the norm in most countries. [/quote]

+1000! [b]Don't you think Japanese kids grow up eating sushi?[/b] It's not everyday Japanese food but they also eat a lot of vegetables in schools and at homes. I think Japan is #goals for food education. Look at this video of these young kids who are making their own meal that doesn't consist of chicken nuggets and Domino's pizza:

I don’t actually.  Raw fish isn’t recommended in japan for kids until they are 2.5.  Also as you mention, sushi isn’t even an everyday food.  It is more common to just give the child small pieces of cooked fish. [/quote]
