[quote=Anonymous]OP - I understand where you're coming from. My mom always told me to do what I said I would do and my kids would learn that I meant it. You do have to be careful though because you have to be willing to go through with it. So I get that. But I also think you were really grabbing the rope here when dropping it would have been an easier option. That would look like: "Larla it's dinner time!" and if she doesn't come, she doesn't come. There wasn't any need to try to talk to her for 30 minute to cajole her. Then you put her plate in the fridge, and if she comes down hungry you say: "Oh I saved you a plate if you're hungry." You would expend less energy in the below scenario.[/quote]
