Food choices

Options at supermarket when we do food shop, options for snacks. No choice on dinners. Sometimes on lunch, depends if we’re organised.
I offer a this or that, that way she has choice within reason. Example "would you like your ham in a wrap or a sandwich" toddlers like to feel in control and I find she eats better this way. I let her choose her crisps for her lunchbox from a small selection too. I wouldn't just ask what do you want for lunch though as she'd be overwhelmed by choice. X
I normally just ask him. Normally ask if he’s hungry and then ask what he wants. He doesn’t always tell me so I will give ideas. I can usually tell based on the time of the day whether it’s “big hungry” or “little hungry”. If it’s a snack I’ll give him choices. If it’s dinner he’ll normally just have what we’re having.
If I know she won’t have what we’re having I give 2 choices that usually works and she eats what she has picked
