[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]given that she eats well the rest of the day, is it possible she's just not that hungry at dinner time? I have a 4 year old that is generally a decent eater, but she will balk at what is served for dinner just because she can. She always has a cup of milk (which she likes) and a fruit (which she also likes), so we tell her to start with one of those, and then usually she works her way to eating some of the rest of the meal if we ignore her dramatic facial expressions and what she says about the food, but she also doesn't eat all that much at dinner if she isn't currently in a growth spurt. When she's growing there is much much less complaining about the food options.[/quote]

OP- She will almost always have fruit and milk and dinner, but will often refuse what I cooked and ask for a bowl of plain cheerios or plain bran flakes instead.  I have been giving it to her thinking is was a phase but it has persisted a while and I don't know if I'm creating a problem with letting her have the fruit and bowl of cereal instead. [/quote]
