[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have two great eaters so I hesitate to try to give advice. But at 8, can't he be cooking his own food? My rule is you eat what I've made or YOU make (and clean up from making) a PB&J sandwich. They do this once every 3 or so months, they hate dealing with the cleanup. If he likes his food just so, let him prep it! Not as a punishment, but a learning experience and part of the boundaries you set up. No idea if it'll work, but worth a thought? We also enforce a "no discussing food" policy at the table. I don't care if they eat, how much they eat, if they clear their plates, if they like it, if they don't...well, they're allowed to compliment the chef. :-) But pretty much any mention of the meal will result in me or DH saying, nicely, "We don't care, now let's talk about something interesting!" and changing the subject. Good luck OP.[/quote]
