Why do meals turn into a fight?

If every meal is a war, you are not a bad parent. Many families live this — especially with mixed dishes, meat, or new textures.

Three small things at home

1. 01

   Change tonight's goal from “eat more” to “a calmer table.”

2. 02

   One ladder step is enough: looking, smelling, or touching new food still counts.

3. 03

   Cut bargaining and threats for tonight; keep the scene short and predictable.
