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

Great idea!

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............

Darn.

however, i DID cater to his
food requests as he got older
