Serious question: Why won't/can't you put a plate of food in front of your child (whatever it is you made and are eating), and if he/she doesn't eat it then they'll go to bed hungry? Does this method not work? Is there something wrong with it? I can't imagine having to cook two meals every night.


This is how I was. It started many arguments between the wife and me. In our case it isn't so much a "he doesn't like it" problem. A lot of times it is a sensory issue. It can be the smell, texture or taste.

ETA: What we do now is give him 3 options (of things we know he likes) to choose from or he can request something. He chooses/makes the request in the morning and we write it on the board. That evening that is what he will have. If he doesn't want it then he will go to bed hungry.
