[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 [b]Sweetgreen not kid appropriate?[/b] 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]

You are saying I should feed my 1.5 year old a sweetgreen salad for dinner?  First off, that’s a huge waste of money because the salads are large.  I really don’t think a salad entree is an appropriate meal.

In regards to sushi, I haven’t given it to my son because I figured he couldn’t eat it without most of the ingredients falling out.  Especially the rolls with fish on top.

You don’t understand because you don’t have a child who will refuse to eat certain foods.  We had gnocchi with meat sauce tonight as a family.  Gave my son the gnocchi of course and he refused to eat a single bite.  Went to bed without dinner.

Why is this so hard? Get yourself a Sweetgreen salad, with a couple of ingredients he might like. Remove the lid, serve him out of your bowl.  Put his servings on the lid. Voila.  That is how my kids learned to eat everything we eat. There is never a need to force a kid to eat something or to send them to bed hungry. [/quote]
