If she doesn't like what you make her, she simply won't eat it. She will just live without dinner. So we have to make her what she wants. This has been true since she was a baby. We've finally at least gotten to the point that she's willing to try new things.

Oh well, as long as they are at least willing to try new things that's fine.

My parents just simply forbid me from leaving the table till I finished my food when I was little haha and no matter how headstrong you are, just sitting there gets old real fast.

Might not be the best way to go about it, but they never had any issues with getting me to eat things afterwards.

With my step kid I've basically just told him I'm not making anything else for him if he doesn't like what I made. If he won't eat it, he can have fresh vegetables and/or last night's leftovers instead. I give him some options before I start cooking, so he knows and has some say in what dinner is.

The exception is if I make something that's objectively gross. I've had a few frozen package dinners that looked good but were outright nasty and made sandwiches instead.
