My 7 year old eats boned fish, almost all vegetables, and light spice. I personally think it's fine to not have him eat food that is too spicy or exotic - espcially on a plane. I also don't force him to watch movies that will scare him give him nightmares, discipline him with physical force etc. But that's just me with my specific kids...
