[quote=Anonymous]The issue here is that the child was upset. The parents did a bad job because they tried to force their child to not be upset by using dinner. I’ve learned this the hard way with my kids too but you can’t just force kids to not be upset. Tying dinner to it was a very bad idea. Imagine as a grown up if you weren’t allowed to eat because you were upset at the wrong moment. Bad job by the parents. Let her be upset. If she’s missing dinner every night that’s a different thing then you can reevaluate all the routines and things in place that may help, but if it’s just one off you can just give her space. Don’t try to exert maximum control at the moment when it’s most difficult and frankly isn’t even necessary. [/quote]
