[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, do your children come to you  an hour or so later and tell you they are hungry or want dessert? If so, they are not eating enough at mealtime. That behavior is perceived as spoiled/bratty and disrupts the mealtime of the others at the table. [/quote]

No, my kids are healthy and probably eat 2 good meals out of 3. Some meals they will have seconds and even thirds. If they are not very hungry, they may only eat a few bites. My 4yo ate a good breakfast, did not eat well for lunch and ate a huge dinner today.

The friend who scolded my 4yo today has a child who is barely on the growth chart. She is a long time friend and I will give her a pass since her child's eating does in fact stress her out. If she ever scolds my child again about eating, I will kindly as her not to do so in a non-confrontational way. If she asked my child to please eat, I would not have minded. I just didn't like the tone and threatening way that she did so. It was upsetting for both my child and me.[/quote]
