[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am curious about what length PPs are willing to go to "make" their child sit at the table…we deal with this with our child with other behaviors and she does not like being physically held or restrained and now is too big to be carried around places or taken to her room physically. She is strong. I don't like to engage physically so what do you all mean by "make" your child sit at the dinner table. I can't do this. Threats? Taking away privileges? None of this seems to work. Sorry to get off topic but I was struck by how easy some PPs make it out to be...[/quote] Why are you making it so hard. You TELL her, "Larla, it's important family time when we eat dinner. Even if you choose not to eat WHAT we're eating, you are going to start eating WITH us. Starting tomorrow night, you'll be eating meals with us every night" No negotiation, no tying her to her chair. Tell her what's expected of her. Who is the parent in your house?[/quote]
