[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - we started easy tonight. We were already planning on making pizza so I offered pizza and strawberries with milk. Older kid ate everything. Younger kid at two bites of strawberries. She hasn’t eaten since 10am so I thought she might be hungry. Nope nothing. Then went outside to play for 1.5 hours came inside and got ready for bed. I am sure she will be hungry in the morning but at this point it’s a battle of wills. She will hold out for a while I am sure. I am assuming the next week or two will be milk and water with an occasional bite of fruit. Fingers crossed she starts eating real food because I am certainly not making chicken nuggets for dinner.

Don't starve your kid!!!  Did you read the Ellyn Satter book or just do this based on what people posted?  Read the book.[/quote]

OP is not starving her kid!  How ridiculous.  She is offering a balanced meal that the child chooses not to eat.  That's ok.  You can't force another person to eat.  Keep offering the meals and move on, don't force it.  [/quote]
