[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prepare meal and serve. "This is dinner (or whichever meal), eat or go hungry. Picky eaters are made by idiot parents.[/quote] That’s a great way to get fired. I do a lot of work expanding palates. “One bite to be polite” of each thing on the plate becomes eating half (of one serving spoon), then the child eventually eats more. Expecting a child to go straight to “eat it or go hungry” isn’t reasonable. You don’t take a toddler straight from being dressed by someone else to dressing themselves completely. You work in small steps, one thing on the plate you know they like, and at least one new thing or food served in a way they haven’t seen, at most one thing thing you already know they don’t like. If all they see are things they don’t like or don’t recognize, you’re more likely to create issues around food.[/quote]
