[quote=Anonymous]I'm another Ellyn Satter fan. I like her idea of being considerate without catering. So, I serve a variety of foods, but I also make sure that there are 1 or 2 things on the table that I know my kids will eat. So, for example, if I'm serving curry and I have a kid who doesn't yet like curry (that's how we talk about it), then the rice is in a separate bowl, and they can have that, and there's milk to drink. Or if I'm serving salmon, which I know they'll eat, then that might be the time to try sides that are a little outside their comfort zone like spiced lentils or Brussels sprouts. My kids are 12 and 9. My 12 year old pretty much ate whatever from the beginning, so of course I thought I was a stellar parent. My 9 year old has taken his time learning to like foods, but now eats a variety. [/quote]
