You can't make a child eat. I make what I make and if someone chooses not to eat that's his/her choice. They don't get more of what they do like though, unless they clean their plate. For example, if I make chicken strips, rice and beans, if he only eats the chicken and rice he doesn't get more until he eats his beans. I will not be a short order cook! Most days I have 6 kids here and you can't make every child's favorite.
