[quote=Anonymous]Be consistent every single time. If you only ever have cookies after dinner then it shouldnt turn into a power struggle. If he sometimes has a cookie in the afternoon he is gonna think it can happen whenever he wants it to. If he doesnt want to eat dinner, let him go without. I personally put at least one thing on the plate that I know DD likes so she never goes to bed hungry, but if he is refusing to eat anything then so be it. Do not turn it into a conversation. Does he get the same amount of screen time a day? Mine doesnt but you might need to. So X amount in the morning or X number of shows and then turn it off.[/quote]
