Starving a child is : Child Maltreatment Syndrome-Abuse. Put a tbsp. of each food/yr. of age on the child's plate, then allow seconds at 3 scheduled sit-down, pleasant family meals & 2 snacks/ day. Don't buy junk food or soda. Nagging or punishing reinforces a child's food refusal. Review child's growth curves & BMI with pediatrician & seek referral to a behavioral therapist if you're considering starving your child.

Poor thought: Please never give credit to a small child for adult thinking.They are not little big people.The first year they get all their needs met by adults which makes them feel like kings/queens.As they get older you may want them to "behave" and do what you want but they still think you serve them.They learn to be respectful / behave gradually if you respect & help them.Your suggestion could lead CPS to u
