[blparent] fruits and veggies

Sun Mar 1 17:23:31 UTC 2009

Hi,

I think two is a bit pushing it, but at three they should start to 
understand that I don't run a restaurant, and if you don't eat what's on 
your plate you don't eat.  You don't let them go for more then one meal 
though, and you offer them a drink of milk or something before bed.  But 
they're not going to starve themselves, so they'll eventually eat what 
they're given, and they'll learn that there are things you just don't 
tolerate.
