[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand, OP. My kids eat pretty well during the day, but dinner is always a crapshoot. They are hungry at 4:00pm (after school), but can take up to two hours to touch any food we prepare. They nibble a little and mostly ignore the food.

Then, almost invariably, at 8:00pm, after teeth are brushed and we're getting ready for bed, they demand a full 8-course meal (and will eat it).

I have no idea what to do. Watching this thread closely for ideas.[/quote]

Do you give them the dinner you prepared as the 8 course meal? Or something else? Why don’t you just serve it at 7:30 and then do bedtime routine?

Pp here. Because they are seriously hangry at 4:00pm. I’ve tried giving them just a snack, but they invariably want to stuff their faces with the snack food. Then when presented a balanced meal, turn their noses up and beg for more snacks. Better to give them the balanced meal when they are hungriest. But then they pick at it. When that happens we allow them pouches or a pbj sando, at the advice of a nutritionist. [/quote]
