Once you adopt that mantra/attitude its easy....
You serve - they eat (or dont)
But thats it.
In the tummy or in the trash. Either way its gone.
My kiddos ate a cucumber, 3 bell peppers (1 each red, yellow and orange) and carrot sticks today. Then they ate lunch... cooked mixed veggies, pasta and grilled chicken.
For snack they'll eat another array of fresh veggies with hummus.
NONE of my kiddos started with me eating that way right off but within a week or two of regular attendance, a little positive "peer pressure" (see/watch what friends are doing) and never being offered an alternative and they are ALL awesome eaters.
At least once a week I get a parent that will tell me Jr won't or doesn't eat that at home.
I just smile because they eat it here.
