Should Kids Get a Separate Dinner If They Don’t Like What’s Cooked?
Every parent has likely faced the dinner-table dilemma: you’ve prepared a meal, but your child refuses to eat it. Should you make something else, or encourage them to eat what’s already been served?
Some parents believe offering a separate meal accommodates children’s preferences and helps reduce mealtime battles. Others feel that making multiple dinners creates unrealistic expectations and encourages picky eating. Finding a balance between respecting a child’s tastes and encouraging them to try new foods can be challenging for families.
