It's normal for families to have their own dining customs, but when hosting a guest, it's well-mannered to allow some leniency, especially regarding food.
Criticizing a child for not finishing their meal is excessive unless the behavior is truly bad. Manners should embrace understanding, not strict enforcement.
Children often have individual tastes, and forcing them to eat everything can create negative associations with mealtime. It's important to allow kids to express preferences.
Reinforce your family's values and reassure your daughter that she did nothing wrong. It’s part of her learning to navigate differing household rules.
