Harmoni, your no meanie (unless I am too ) ha ha. I think it's a good turn of the tables......generall y when a child is refusing food it has more to do with control rather than their likes or dislikes, most of the "refusers" are a bit spoiled at home.....making their own choices more often than not. I also enjoy very much the "turn" of things, when one is crying at the table because I inform them they have to at least try their veggie before getting down, then I state to all the other children.."you are doing a great job, when you are finished eating your healthy lunch I have a yummy cookie for you" all the kids cheer for the cookie and finish their food, sometimes even making the comment to the "non-eater" "you better eat your food so you can have a cookie too!" too funny! if you sit back sometimes, the kids will do all the work for you.
