6 year old super picky. Barely eats.

I wouldn't even do that, aside from babies transitioning, the rules are the same for everyone. All of my kids would eat unlimited bread and nothing else if I let them.

I'd try giving him enough bread for a full serving (considered a grain serving, not enough bread to be a substitute for a full meal) right off the bat, so there can be no question of not giving him enough of that food group. I do this with my kids and it's a case of eat the bread off the bat if you want and then no more until everything else is gone. I've tried little bits at a time in order to coax them to try a few more bites at a time, but I find it's more of a hassle and they never really ate more anyway.
