[QUOTE="Andy, post: 402912, member: 5096"] Yes, Calm is the word of the day! :) You have learned well on how to present issues. I wasn't suggesting offering her a variety of foods - more like take the meal you are going to serve which includes a main entree, side dish, fruit, vegetable and letting her choice how much of each through a "chart" process. The first few times we really don't care what she chooses so "You eat 1 portion of the main entree and 6 portions of any combination of the foods here including the main entree". She may choose 4 fruit and one vegetable and one side dish (cottage cheese, salad, ect.). Then increase the ante "Today you eat 2 portions of the main entree and 8 portions of any combination of the foods here." It is very normal for moms to say, "This is what we are having tonight, you have to eat atleast three bites of each" especially of new foods introduced or "You are not leaving the table until you finish your vegetable." It is not giving her a choice of foods but is having her see how much 90% is. I know if someone told me I had to eat 90% of my meal I wouldn't know how much that was. [/QUOTE]
