Featured Response 💬
“The requirement in our home is that you at least try it. Even if you’ve tried it before and didn’t like it. You at least try it again. If it’s still a no go, you’re allowed another option but I refuse to make multiple meals so the second options are things like cereal, pb&j, chicken nuggets, waffles, oatmeal, etc.”
This is such a realistic, balanced approach! Teaching them to try without turning dinner into a short-order kitchen, and sometimes cereal or nuggets are just what keeps dinner from becoming a whole thing. - Danielle 😊
