[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 199556, member: 3419"] Our son did the same thing. It lasted about 3 yrs. I found that if he didn't eat anything at mealtime, we would put the food away and not allow him to eat anything else that night. Usually within a cpl days he'd be hungry enough to at least eat a teaspoonful of something, but we had to endure meltdowns because he is mildly hypoglycemic. Also, eating out when he was very little was quite interesting. Most kids love soups, so we took him to a Japanese restaurant and told him that the miso soup with-tofu was actually marshmallow soup. He ordered two bowls of it every time! It lasted until he was 8, LOL. Now if he's stubborn, I just put the food on a coffee table or dinner table and walk away. He eats it when I'm gone (I have to remove the dogs because for a while there I wasn't sure who was eating it!). But he will argue that he hates it if I'm standing there. Go figure. [/QUOTE]
