Let them see you eat it

Wanting yours is a kind of yes
If they want yours, share from the same dish when it is safe for their age and allergies. Wanting your food is a kind of yes.
Offer a piece that matches how well they chew. Your bite size is not automatically theirs.
Match the diet
Egg on your plate is not an invitation if egg stays off theirs. Share only what their diet and allergies allow.
Cheese from your pasta stays on your pasta when milk is an allergy.
No show
You do not need a performance. A normal bite, then the conversation about the day.
If they never look, the food was still offered. Try again another day.
A sentence you can say
