If she doesn’t like what you make her, she simply won’t eat it. She will just live without dinner. So we have to make her what she wants. This has been true since she was a baby. We’ve finally at least gotten to the point that she’s willing to try new things.
Oh well, as long as they are at least willing to try new things that’s fine.
My parents just simply forbid me from leaving the table till I finished my food when I was little haha and no matter how headstrong you are, just sitting there gets old real fast.
Might not be the best way to go about it, but they never had any issues with getting me to eat things afterwards.
When I was little, I had times where I just straight up slept at the dinner table because I refused to eat. My parents learned quickly that if they didn’t want me to starve to death, they were gonna need to make foods I actually liked.
Once they’d been doing that for a while, I got a lot more open to trying new foods, even ones I didn’t like before, because now everyone else was eating and enjoying food I didn’t have and I wanted to be a part of that. Didn’t make me automatically like everything, but it did open me up to a lot of healthier options.
