[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he doesn't eat, he doesn't eat. If he doesn't clean his plate, oh well. If he eats 3 bites and that's it, well, that's it. He will eat when he's hungry. He's not going to starve! [b] Set a no snacks rule. Only offer a glass of milk after dinner if complains he's hungry. Don't allow any snacks after 2 or 3 PM, either.[/b] [/quote] The bolded is extremely effective, in my experience. In the book "Bringing Up Bebe," they describe how French children are much more varied eaters than kids are here and part of it is their snacking is very limited, so they are hungrier at dinnertime. I banned the afterschool snack in my house (went to playground instead, partly as a distraction) and suddenly my DD will try all vegetables. [/quote]
