Should kids have separate meals?

Brad Barrett does not provide specific comments on whether kids should have separate meals. However, one of the guests on his podcast, Leslie Tayne, discusses strategies for managing costs and expectations around children's meals during shopping and dining out. Leslie Tayne advised against ordering separate children's meals at restaurants. Instead, she recommended sharing portions of adult meals with children, promoting trying more mature dishes and saving money. This approach also helps develop a child's palate, as they become accustomed to the same types of foods their parents are eating, rather than settling for typical children's menu items 1.
