[quote=Anonymous]In the situation you have described, I *probably* would have done exactly what you did, provided that I intended to follow up with DD in the morning by having a serious discussion about acceptable behavior and that the child in question did not already have an unhealthy or particularly emotionally-attached attitude about food. I would think a few missed meals should be sufficient to curb "typical" tween mouthiness; it certainly worked on me growing up. If you're worried that this will escalate into a power struggle where she continues her disrespect thus "forcing" you (in the name of consistency) to continue sending her to bed without supper, to the point that you're actually worried about it becoming unhealthy for her, maybe you could change the consequence slightly so that she must go to her room during the family meal but may come down later to make herself a sandwich before going directly back to her room/to bed for the night.[/quote]
