No, I will not make a seperate meal

[bowribbonmama]

If your child refuses to eat will you make them another meal?
I do NOT do this. They must have a plate of what I make and if they don't eat then that is their fault.
Later, when they are hungry they are offered their dinner or fruits/veggies. NO junk snacks unless you eat your dinner!

thats just lazy.

i care enough about my kid to make them food rather then let them go hungry.

i also plan on giving her CHOICES

"macaroni or chicken nuggets"

[atyou]

No, I don't do that.

i don't make two meals either. i am not big on wasting time or food. if they don't eat a lot at one meal, they can always make up for it at the next.

I always ask my family what they want for a meal. If they dont eat it then too bad, they can eat it later

[redneckmama2]

No I don't make them a seperate meal. They will eat what is put in front of them or nothing at all. I don't find it to be lazy at all! My kids are going to learn that you eat what mom makes and it is as simple as that. 

[bowribbonmama]

No, it's not lazy.
They don't go hungry. If they are hungry later then they have an option of their dinner or fruits and veggies.

I don't see how it's lazy.

I'm not reducingyarlf to a child's diet. Not a d I cooking 6 meals a day. I have kid dinner some night and more grown up meals on others.

They can make themselves something.  I don't let them go hungry all night because they wake up throwing up by the next morning.  It's a stomach issue.  So, I have to make sure they eat.  Whatever I make, they have to at least try it, if they don't like it, they can make their own food.

Nope. Though if he doesnt like a particular vegetable, I may sub it for a different veggie he'd prefer. But a whole seperate meal--no.

I agree but I also make sure that I make a meal that I know all of my kids will enjoy. Healthy yet tasty.
