A little background: Our rule at dinner is that Madelyn does not get any special food unless we're having something that I know she does not like (has had multiple times and really doesn't like it - we're all allowed to have foods we don't like). I always make sure that she at least has a side that she'll eat, but she has to eat at least one bite of everything on her plate. She doesn't get anything else to eat (no substitutions please!), but if she eats at least half of everything and has been good, there is the possibility for a little something for dessert (a small piece of candy, a cookie, etc). Dessert doesn't happen often. ;-) Tonight, we were having tilapia, which she has had before, but she was refusing to eat her required bite.
"I don't want to try the fish! I want to go to bed!"
(She ate her bite eventually and then went to bed.)
