[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 326743, member: 3444"] At that age, I would opt to fix him something I know he'll eat along with side of what the rest of the family is having. In a few years when he's able to do it himself, I'd turn the job over to him if he's still rejecting your meal choices. FWIW, cereal isn't all that bad of a meal substitute as far as nutrition goes. Majority of them are fortified, have whole grains now, and when served with milk are a fairly decent meal. If he'll eat pnut butter, then let him have it -- it's a cheap source of protein for kids. But I'd only buy the all-natural type you have to mix and not the ones that are e-z spread and full of stuff he doesn't need. You don't want food to become a battle ground. [/QUOTE]
