I had good eaters until the new girl (4 1/2) started. She is big on "that's yucky" and "I won't eat that." Shrug, That's fine. Then the little one started imitating and not eating. We had some cranky afternoons! I talked to her about setting an example, mom talked to her. Finally, one day I pulled out the container of Mac and cheese I had fixed earlier. Without even knowing what it was she started "yucky, I'm not eating that". So I put everything else on her plate except that while DCB got Mac. She was backing up fast "Oh, I like that." I didn't let her have it, and she had a blue ribbon worthy drama queen meltdown and was sent away from the table. I've never heard another negative word about food from her. She makes a point to taste everything and be sure I know she tried. Mom was thrilled. It's made things easier at home too.
