I know everyone has different approaches to this problem , I personally just don't like food to become an issue....

My daughter was just complaining about this, her daughter is 11 and she doesn't want to eat what we would consider adult food, meat& potatoes and such...she only wants mac. and cheese, chicken nuggets or hot dogs, etc. etc....pretty typical for kids...they will eventually grow out of it....

I told her do not make food a big deal, just allow some flexabilitiy at meal times so meals don't become a war zone and every ones appetite is ruined...I would rather have a pleasant meal time than fight over food...

I always tried to make something I knew my kids would eat, if that wasn't possible I didn't have a problem fixing something for them....I didn't think it was fair to make them eat something I knew they didn't like....and I never forced them to eat what was on their plates..jmo
