A member asked:
My boy is 2.5 yo. is it too early to stop giving him lots of options for meals and to start having him eat what i fix or nothing else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: At 2.5 years kids are usually self absorbed and consider parents more as servants.They will demand whatever you permit and view that as normal and their privilege. Having them sit at the table with everyone else during meals and offering from what is on the table is the goal.Be sure to make one dish that he would normally eat.He will protest but is unlikely to starve.
