What I Cooked vs. What She Actually Ate: The Daily Dinner Dilemma

Tonight, I spent nearly an hour preparing a colorful stir-fry packed with veggies, chicken, and a side of fluffy rice. I imagined my daughter would be excited—she loves carrots and broccoli, after all. But when dinner was served, she picked out only the rice and a few carrot slices, leaving the rest untouched. I couldn’t help but laugh a little at the contrast between my Pinterest-worthy plate and her minimalist approach. It’s a reminder that feeding kids is sometimes more about patience than perfection.
