[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]

I don't get this. Ellyn Satter says it's the parent's job to provide the when and what of food and the kid's job to eat.  That's exactly what OP is doing, not "starving" her child.

[i]The division of responsibility in feeding (sDOR) encourages you to take leadership with the what, when, and where of feeding and let your child determine how much and whether to eat of what you provide. [/i][/quote]
