Thank you everyone for your responses. I make one meal - if they don’t eat it I don’t get mad. But they have to try one mouthful. Then later when they say they are hungry I give them back their food plate. I should add my 4 year old is actually pretty adventurous. I find if we go to the store and I let him do the shopping he eats salad, salmon, shrimp, cauliflower. So I try and respect when he says he hates peppers because I can get him to eat other things. But lately, he wants more and more sweets. So I put it on the side of his plate and he will then eat his food to get dessert. I wonder if that’s setting some bad example. My 1 year old is much pickier then my 4 year old. Hates vegetables and loves starch. My oldest was much better at this age of eating things like spinach. But I am also not a great cook. And in fairness, he will eat more of that stuff in restaurants. Hence why I joined here. Looking for ways to improve my cooking. I should note - I do not have a sense of smell. So I have to go a lot by look and sometimes things are over or under done.
