Wow! That is the first I have ever heard of kids taking it that far! And she's 3...she knows better. It seems like an obvious control thing to me. I too like the idea of a 'no big deal' approach. Go along with normal routine; if she eats she eats. Not really our job to go beyond the attempt to offer nutrition. The worst thing I did when our niece did this (we were babysitting her for an extended time too while parents were on vacay) was to resort to sweets to get her to eat...then that was all she wanted
