[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As somebody who has struggled with an eating disorder since about that age, I have to say that withholding nourishment is never appropriate. Missing a single meal might not harm her physically, but, it sends the message that she does not deserve something so essential. It is dehumanizing, and it can be very damaging.[/quote] I can't see ever doing it but her point was not to withhold food but to let her child know mouthliness won't be tolerated. One night without a meal isn't going to kill the child particularly if the child snacked afterschool.. If the OP did this on a regular basis it would very well be abuse. I don't spank my children either but I don't think everyone who does it from time to time is a monster either. OP got her message across. She doesn't appear as a person who thinks withholding food is a good long term discipline strategy. [/quote]
