You shouldn't restrict macronutrients in a toddler, so think about how you can add carbohydrates to their plate, for example a soup for the whole family and add croutons or pasta or rice to their plate. Chicken breast and broccoli for you and add a potato for them

TBH it's difficult to answer your question without knowing what you're cooking!

But agree with @Kaiken, your child needs carbs at this age, as well as plenty of fat and protein.

We just have what we're having with a bit of rice/potatoes/pasta for DD. She's older though and a very good eater.

I've just started, but because we are quite a meat and 2 veg type house I don't think it will be that difficult really.
Saturday's we will have burgers. I'll have a lettuce bun, make some Keto coleslaw or some salad and a high fat dressing, Dc (including toddler) will have bread buns and maybe some corn on the cob/onion ring/fries.
Sundays we usually have a roast so I'm going to do roast meat, some Keto friendly cauliflower cheese, buttered greens, then my DC (including toddler) can have a Yorkshire pudding and roasties with it, and I won't.
Week day meals:
Used to do chilli, with potato Wedges one night and jackets the next. Obviously I won't have the baked potatoes now! So will have mine with avocado, homemade guacamole, soured cream and/or grated cheese.
Meat loaf I have one which uses Parmesan instead of breadcrumbs. Will serve with mash for the kids which I'll skip, and green beans.
When they have pizza night, I will have pizza topped chicken. Or maybe make a base or make a low carb base if I can be bothered (I've had bad luck with making cauliflower bases in the past though).
We eat a lot of chicken in my house, so that's easy. DC will have some garlic bread, mash, wedges or flavoured rice. I'll skip that and have some salad, Keto friendly coleslaw, olives, avocado, salad or something along those lines. I'm going to have to find some good Keto condiments though as I do love my BBQ sauces and will miss them after a little while.
We also eat a lot of mince, so I am going to experiment with making it more Keto friendly when I do Bolognese, mince stew, etc. Again, no mash or maybe some mashed cauliflower or celeriac if I can be bothered. Lots of greens!
Then salads, hamburger salad is one of my time favourite Keto salads, cob salad (no sweetcorn), Caesar salad (no croutons), Nicoise (no potatoes), etc.
Otherwise crustless quiche and more salad. Or some grilled salmon. Toddler can eat both of those.
