I don't believe that children that have parents that work outside of the house are at a disadvantage... I also don't believe that children that have a parent that stays at home somehow benifit.

We have done that before a few times when they were preschoolers, but maybe only once for the two bite rule...it was usually for something else.

No, not at all. You can't make someone eat or sleep. You can control the conditions around which they eat or sleep, but you really can't force it. It's different from a backpack. If they don't pick up the backpack, you can take the backpack away.

Well...yea, they were little and often had to be reminded of the rules, isn't that common in young children?

I tried my two bites of strawberries way back as a young child and decided that I didn't like them, still don't and still don't eat them, lol.

That's not the same as the two bite rule that I have been talking about.

So say your child decides they don't want to go to school, how do you force them?

In none of my posts have I made any statements at all about how you handle any of those issues so I have never stated that it would be an issue for you.

All of my postings have been about my personal life or the subject in general.
