[quote=Anonymous]I am a little confused because it sounds like you gave her some food? Just not dinner? If you gave her something I don’t think that was a mistake. I think the mistake was engaging over and over. I have a child like this who loves power struggles and one who loves attention. My husband used to play into it *so* badly and it just kept getting worse. He would have done what you did. We eventually did a parent training class that was very focused on not rewarding bad behavior with more attention. I’m not even sure your kids behavior was *bad* but like others I would have left her alone and then at then provided some sort of food that minimally inconvenienced me and was not some how better than dinner. Even if it’s bedtime a string cheese and banana would take 2 minutes. [/quote]
