She won't starve. Try it for 3 days.

As for choosing she can help in the cooking process by
choosing between peas and beans etc. for dinner.

Good luck

my child was VERY fussy (and still is)
i REGRET giving in to him in order to get him to eat
something, anything!

you have been given good advice here......... she eats what
you eat, and she has to try at least ONE bite of each item on
her plate!

the idea of choosing between 2 choices for veggies, or meat,
or whatever is an excellent idea

I never "catered" to my 3 children, the many, many children I have
cared for nor my grand kids. They eat the good food I eat and
believe me... they now eat or at least try any food put before
them. And I speak of, odd to us, foreign foods they have never
heard of.

I started the babies with pureed table food. No baby foods were
bought in a jar off the shelf. I did use the baby boxed cerels but
that was the only store bought "baby" food we purchased.

Another "trick" I used to get children to eat certains foods.. was
to talk to dad about how much we loved "that" food
with in hearing distance of the child, as if it was an adult
private discussion. And have kids help you cook and tasts the
foods as you cook. My boys are GREAT cooks now! I started them
helping in the kitchen before they were 2.

Enjoy!

i made all of kidlet's baby food from whatever we were having for
dinner......... whirl it in the food processor with some liquid to
moisten it, then into ice cube trays for freezing, then into zip lock
bags for future use

pull out a cube of this, a cube of that, add some veggies from dinner
and voila, he had a full meal deal dinner

he used to love ALL kinds of food......... now that he's a teen he's
very picky............ however, i DID cater to his food requests as he
got older
