I agree with not turning it into a fight. I wouldn't say my DS is fussy, he just knows how to push the boundaries and knows what he want's (that's junk food) so he refuses other stuff in a hope to get what he wants. I offer a plate of dinner up every night, but most nights he doesn't eat, other nights he will eat it all & shock us completely, but the main thing for me is that he sits up with us and gets the idea of what dinner time is about. During the day I try to make it fun, like a picnic outside with pear and apple...that has worked. He's the same at Daycare, I can pack anything and it gets eaten, I also make most things, biscuits, cakes etc so I know what's going into what he's eating.
