[quote=Anonymous]This makes sense. Thank you for the clarification.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not aimed at the OP, but at other previous posters. There's absolutely no reason parents need to be so controlling about how and when children eat. The important thing is that they do eat. When children are forced to sit and eat or finish their plates, or milk etc and they are strapped into highchairs while their wants and needs are disregarded the children internalize it can become anxious, feel out of control and stop trusting their own physical responses about if they are full. This is a good way to set your child up with an anxiety disorder, an/or eating disorder. There is absolutely no reason why a child can't feed themselves at a child table. Throwing food is a stage that toddlers love to do. It passes, but a bad relationship with food does not.[/quote]

I am one of those who suggested strapping into the high chair (career nanny poster), and I don’t think most people are saying “torture you kid until they join the clean plate club.”  I (and others) are saying: 
“Strap him in when he is in the high chair so he can’t climb out (because it is dangerous), and if he cries to get down, let him get down but don’t let him bring the food along.”

You can have a rule that food happens at the table without forcing your kid to eat when they aren’t hungry.[/quote][/quote]
