Children have small stomachs. They may eat better if they do not see a lot of food on their plate. They like to feel proud when they can finish everything on their plate. If children are not hungry, or if they are too hungry, mealtime can be harder. You do not have to make a different meal for each person, but some children may want more of one food.
Some children like to try new foods.
Others do not. Forcing only upsets them. You may want to make rules about tasting foods you serve. In some families, children can try a small bite. They do not have to like it.
