[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Food was available. The child didn't eat it. The child became hungry later. Sounds like an excellent lesson in the consequences of having an attitude and not doing what you're supposed to do at the time you're supposed to do it. Meals have fairly set time windows at our house too, unless someone is sick or there's an unexpected situation. [/quote] Yes and no. Sounds like OP said to her kid that she could come to eat dinner time or not eat. Child was upset. Maybe she couldn’t calm herself and maybe she didn’t want to eat with the family. If dinner time is set at 6:30-7pm is it really so bad to just say Eat by 8pm or don’t eat because bedtime is 8:30? Forcing an upset person to eat with everyone in a time window (yes with repeated reminder) doesn’t seem fair at that age. [/quote]
