My 3 year old is refusing to eat ANY dinner...for the past week, we have told her that if she doesn't eat her dinner there are NO snacks for the rest of the evening...we usually eat dinner as soon as she wakes up after her nap, so there are no snacks between lunch and dinner...and every night before bed time she asks for a snack because she is hungry. We remind her of what we said at dinner when she left the table, and hope that she remembers the next day when we go to eat dinner...she doesn't, and the cycle repeats itself...day after day....is this a phase? We used to leave her dinner on the table and tell her if she was hungry she could go eat her dinner (cold or not...), we have stopped this because she would say to us right before bed that she was hungry (to stall going to bed...), so now if she leaves the table, the dinner is gone (hopefully this will get her to sit still, one day, and eat...) Any suggestions??
Thanks
