I completely agree.
It was same for my parents and me, and same for me and my son.
Ianrauk Jnr was a not only a fussy eater, sometimes he just wouldn't eat, even treats he wouldn't scoff up. He would spend over an hour eating a dinner, just pushing it around his plate. We never forced the issue. I basically said that's your dinner eat up. He was a skinny little runt, we took him to the doctors but they said nothing worng and that he would grow out of it, and he did. He's now 22, a strapping big lad and there is not much he doesn't like foodwise.

User482 said:I was never forced to eat anything by my parents, but equally, alternatives were not offered. I think that gets you into the habit of trying different foods at an early age, which can only be a good thing.
