I really need a sanity check....
DS (9) has just sat down to another lovely home cooked meal, looked at it, announced he didn't like it without even trying it, and refused to eat a single bite.
I'm determined not to make this an issue as getting cross/upset doesn't work, but what do I do??? I used to let him have bread and butter so he wouldn't be hungry, but he is quite happy to refuse everything else and have that for dinner every night, so that stopped.
Tonight I told him he could only have fruit as dessert while the others had something chocolatey, so he happily demolished half the fruit bowl which is great but isn't helping him get a balanced diet...
What are the rules in your house? Do you offer an alternative?
