    My 2 year old eats what I offer. I make a healthy meal for him and he eats whatever of it that he wants. If he doesn't want it, he doesn't have to eat it. If he asks for a quick and easy substitute (like cold leftovers instead of what I cooked), then he can have it. He goes shopping with me and gets to pick out most of the fruits and veggies, choose which fish to get, etc. I let him have as much input as I can. He's an awesome eater so far, and is usually willing to try new foods.

    This sounds just like Ellyn Satters "recipe" to raise competent eaters. Well done :smiley:
