[quote=Anonymous]Dealiing with something similar. I would not inject a discussion about weight if she’s not already worried about thar. I would just calmly tell her that three healthy meals a day are non-negotiable, even if she’s not hungry. Sometimes our body doesn’t send us the right hunger messages but she needs the fuel because she’s growing. Its okay to be mad at mom/dad but its not okay to use food as an emotional weapon. Be as mad as you want but you need to eat your lunch. Calm, non-emotional, non-negotiable. And make sure neither of the parents use food/meals as an emotional tool...kids pick up on that as a strategy. [/quote]
