6 year old super picky. Barely eats.

[Fun&care]

The way I do it with my kids is they have to eat a least one bite of veggie or meat etc before getting another serving of their "favorite"( usually a carb, I keep servings small). I find this works better for really picky eaters because most kids can handle ONE BITE, it's less overwhelming than cleaning their plate. What a shame that mom has such a twisted view on healthy eating tho...at six years old this isn't going to be easy to reverse. SHE is the one setting him up for a lifetime of food issues, rest assured that you are doing the right thing by not giving in to this nonsense. It must be so frustrating but keep your chin up!
