[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Set a timer. Say nothing and throw away food when timer goes off. If she never takes 1 bite for the next 10 years oh well.[/quote] I wouldn't necessarily throw away the food in case she's hungry later, but when our kids were little, we had a rule about how long you had to stay at the table because dinnertime was about spending time together. Often kids would end up eating, if only because it was there, but they understood the drill: 10 minutes sitting properly in a chair, ask to be excused, put your own dishes in the dishwasher. One of my kids was eager for breakfast and not much interested in other meals, so I made sure breakfast was hearty. [/quote]
