3. What to do when your kid refuses dinner? Do you offer another option? Send them to bed hungry?

Update: 2021-06-07

Description

Welcome to the first Single Scoop 🙌 In these episodes, I will chat about one (single) topic and give you the scoop about the how-to for a common feeding concern!

In this Single Scoop episode, I chat all about:

• What should you do when your kid refuses dinner?

• Should you send them to bed hungry?

• How old should a kid be when you implement this strategy?

• What if they say they aren’t hungry for dinner but ask for dessert?

• What if they say they’re hungry later?

• What if they wake up hungry?

• How to handle this if you're concerned about weight gain?

• Are they getting all the nutrition they need?

• How does it affect their energy level/mood the next day?

• What about offering an alternative option? Is doing that bad?
