[quote=Anonymous]I'm an Ellyn Satter follower (with some modifications -- no bread or dessert on the table). I put out the food on their plates, and they eat whatever of it they want. No food until the next meal/snack time. My exact rules are as follows: 1. Wear clothes (top and bottom) to the table. 2. No crying at the table. If a meal makes you cry, go do it in another room. 3. Ask to be excused and clear your place when you are done. I find that when I get after anyone about eating anything, they exert whatever control they have to keep my attention. That usually means not eating whatever it is. Therefore, each person is responsible for his or her own food. We do have several options going at a time because I am a vegetarian and the rest of the family eats meat; so far, no one has gone with my meal plan to date, but our oldest is only 6! [/quote]
