My 28 month old son has decided in the last week or so that he's not interested in dinner...at all. About a month ago, he stopped eating all vegetables except for creamed corn, now he's decided he doesn't want to eat dinner, period. I've stopped giving him an afternoon snack, but that doesn't work. By the time I get home from work, he's so crabby and cranky I can't deal with him while I cook dinner, so I give him a small (very small) snack to tide him over. He sits at the table and screams, "ALL DONE ALL DONE!" and shrieks and cries. I've heard that it's not good to force a child to eat if they're not hungry, so I don't. A few hours later, at bedtime, he's hungry. Should I make him go to bed without eating, take him out to the table and try to give him his dinner again, or give him a snack? HELP!
