[quote=Anonymous]She wanted the last word and thought she would get it. Sounds like you won this time. But it’s a small battle and this way you won’t win the war. If she’s upset and doesn’t come down for dinner, I wouldn’t go upstairs and try and cajole her to come. Make her a plate (with plenty of vegetables!) and put it in the fridge. If she says she’s hungry then she can heat it up herself and sit alone (no tv, no iPad, no phone) and eat. Our bedtime routine was long at that age, but if our kids pulled that then they would just be put to bed, no story or snuggle. A kiss and I love you, then that’s it. Tomorrow when she’s calm you talk about different ways to handle it when she’s upset. But I wouldn’t withhold meals if I were you. It won’t ever help. [/quote]
