So... the situation is as follows.
7 year old daughter lives 50/50 shared care with mum and dad.
Daughter has been a vego since 4 years old when mother made lifestyle choice for the both of them.
Parents been separated for 2 years and daughter has maintained vegetarianism.
Father would like to introduce meat (beef, poultry, pork) into daughters diet, daughter refuses on the basis 'its cruel to animals' however daughter does happily eat fish (pescatarian).
Mother is criticising father for encouraging daughter to eat meat and make an informed decision.
At what age would it be considered appropriate for a child to make an independent, informed decision?
