That's entirely fair. My kid's aversions are mostly about familiarity and not about flavor or texture, or random whim. What we did ended up working out, but you're right that it isn't necessarily going to be the case with every kid, and I probably shouldn't have implied that it was the "right" thing to do. It was certainly lucky, but as with many parenting strategies, that it worked with my kid doesn't mean it would work with others.

Yeah I've accepted that a lot of things simply come down to the personality a kid was born with.
