None. All of my family are adventurous eaters. When the kids were
small we didn't have a "must try x bites" rule, but we showed by
example that it was fun to try new things. And it was fun to focus on
whatever they were eating, its taste, texture, how it matched or didn't
with the rest of the meal. Plus, we never made substitute meals. If
they didn't like what was served they could fend for
themselves....Don't know if that's good parenting, but it seems to have
worked since they turned out to be happy eaters. -aem
