We do this with dessert. If you don't like dessert, you can skip or eat Cheerios. With dinner will sometimes require a bite of protein before a refill of carbs, or some such. I try to make sure the kids always have something I know they eat at a meal and I do get the kids to try new things. They are very good eaters, so maybe we are lucky? I think the hardest thing is not knowing what or how much they will want to eat. Two bites or two plates? Protein or carbs or veggies? It all works out, though.
