How do I get my kids to eat something, anything, healthy?

Don’t fight about food! This is one of those areas (like clothing) where my best advice is to resist the call to arms. You cannot control what your child, or anyone else for that matter, eats. Often taking the fight out of food consumption gives your child permission to eat on his own terms. And that is

often what he wants…control. This doesn’t mean you need to give in; it means you refuse to fight about it. Serve the food you are offering and if your child chooses not to eat, so be it! He won’t starve, I promise. (You will, likely, need to tolerate an explosive reaction when you deny him food an hour later!)
