Vegetarianism + Parenting

Hello dear redditors, Im interested about your opinion about a certain topic.

I have a husband who isnt vegetarian and we're currently having some differences of opinion regarding the parenting of our 6yo daughter. I'd like to raise her as a vegetarian (and I did so in the past), but my husband isnt really a fan of that idea. In his opinion, children necessarily need to eat meat for their development when they get older. We made the compromise to let her decide for herself. So yesterday my husband cooked a meal with meat for her and when she was about to eat it I asked her "You know that animals have to die for this, right?" and she then refused to eat it. Now my husband is pissed at me and tells me that Im harassing our daughter.

I'd like to hear your opinion about this situation. Am I too severe about this topic? What would you do in my situation?
