Seems like reasonable rules to me.

In order to actually have a family meal, I would at least add,
"Children who choose not to eat the meal provided must sit pleasantly at
the table with the family until excused."
If children have to sit at the table with food in front of them while
they are hungry, they are likely to begin eating it at some point.
