I have a standard "alt" fare that is easy to heat up so it isn't like doing a whole separate meal and I do try to gradually increase the size of their "thank you" portion of the food they did not like. I developed this strategy because my eldest is on the autistic spectrum with profound sensory issues. Then w/ the other 3 I gotta confess, I just hate our meal together being a battlefield!

I love his informed explanation of his spiritual discipline, too.<br /><br />Food is one of those issues I love hearing how different parents deal with. My parents were like you--I remember once missing the A-Team with Mr. T because I wouldn't finish my soup! And it worked just fine. But most parents I talk to cater to special "needs" and I sometimes wonder if I'll succumb to that as well. Your post has given me encouragement that I don't have to! Thanks.<br />BTW, love the "Chum Bucket" idea. Definitely tucking that one away for later!Brittshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988209989541968262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089815220320099212.post-52597876869457965682010-03-03T12:24:15.053-08:002010-03-03T12:24:15.053-08:00The same rules apply here too.
