[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't have sent my kid to bed without supper because it has all kinds of ramifications for problems in the immediate future- hunger leading to lack of sleep, leading to more behavior, etc. Exception, I would let him go to bed hungry if he refused to eat what I served for dinner.

However, I don't think it's a big deal that you did this and don't see why people are judging. A lot of kids are sassy and it's not usually a reflection on the parents. I'm a good parent and my kid just seems to go there, and always has- he isn't very mature in this regard and lets his emotions get the better of him.

[b]Back to your question-- I have gotten upset enough with my son's behavior that I served him a bowl of cold cereal and an apple because he was acting so disrespectful that I just did not feel like cooking for him. Could be an option.

I personally would have considered this a reward, not a punishment. I LOVED cereal as a preteen/teen!Still do, actually.[/quote]

I know. I try to make it sound worse than it is for effect. I also like cereal more than half of my home cooked meals. [/quote]
