Picky eaters? Never could understand why people have kids that are picky eaters. Mine always knew that if they didn't eat what was on the table they would be waiting for the next meal and that meal also stood a real good chance of being the same thing they earlier turned their noses at. The secret is that kids should always been given the choice of eating or not eating.

We had a rule at our house. You had to try anything new. You didn't have to eat a lot, but you had to give all new foods a REAL TRY. No faces, no "eeewwww!" comments, no acting like a jerk... just give it an honest taste. My oldest son tried the attitude thing a couple of times. Each time he was given a heaping bowl instead of the tiny spoonful I originally offered. He learned.
