With my own kids, if they don't want the food, thats it, tough. You either eat what is on offer or go hungry
DD3 is very good at missing meals and is not suffering for it. IF she doesn't have breakfast or lunch, she generally does eat well in the evening
But how "should" we deal with mindees? I'm not sure that everyone would agree with that approach
I also feel like they shouldn't get pudding if they don't eat their main meal as I feel like they are getting rewards for not behaving properly. Obvioulsy if they genuinely hate the food, thats another matter
Am just thinking as today, mindee would not eat. had about two mouthfuls of breakfast, had a little fruit at snack time in the morning then refused lunch. Sat there will a mouthful on the spoon but not going in, wouldn't let me help him pop it in, but if I tried to take it away, went mental. So missed the meal completely, then as we are about to leave for the school run at 3 starts demanding breadsticks
He is a known slow eater but today wasn't even trying. He has recently had a few meals removed as he has eaten so slowly that I have had to pack away as we need to leave the playgroup at a set time.
What do you do?
