Yeah, some kids need persuasion in order to eat a more varied diet, so that’s probably where the thinking comes from, but like anything if taken to extremes it becomes abusive.
Now I’m middle aged and have developed a bunch of food allergies, so I’ve been forced into picky eating :-(
IMO how you persuade them is buy just limiting the stuff they get too much from.
If you just had a huge lasagne, you’re not going to feel like veggies. But if you had chicken & rice then you’ll have space for veggies.
(flawed example, but you get the idea)
