Here is what has worked for me:
We have a 'no thank you' bite rule. They must take one bite of everything on their plates. If that is all they choose to eat, that is fine with me but they do still have to remain at the table until the family is done eating. If they want seconds of anything or dessert then they have to eat everything on their plate first. They can plug their noses if they want to get it down. My FC wouldn't eat veggies when they first came. They slowly got used to them and even now like most.
I do not always have dessert. Maybe 3 nights a week. We also do not eat anything in our house after supper. They have to wait until morning. It only took my FD a few nights of a rumbling tummy to catch on.
