Poll-What do you do when your toddler(s) refuse to eat dinner?

Quoting STKsMomma:

I don't put her to bed, but I don't make her anything else. When she asks for something to eat I give her the plate she had at dinner. She can have that first. I don't cater to any of my kids other then on there birthday they get to decide what we are having for dinner!

I just keep the food on a plate and put it in the frig.  If she gets hungry then I offer her the dinner and/or any fruit/veggies.  She would say if she's hungry, so if she doesn't eat much then I assume she isn't hungry.

When she was little, if she didn't eat dinner, she was allowed to leave the table, but her plate was put in the microwave.  If she came in an hour later, hungry, it was warmed up and given to her then.
If she still didn't eat it, she went to bed hungry, and the dog got her food.  The next day she'd start over with a clean slate.

They aren't going to starve themselves to death, and missing one meal isn't going to kill them.  It will teach them to appreciate what they have...esp when it's 3am, they have an empty, growling tummy...and they're thinking, gee, maybe the beans weren't that bad after all!

 we fixed our daughter when she went thru that stage. she didnt want what we ate so we told her 'eat with us or else' the 'or else' is a SINGLE pb&j sandwich only. after she ate nothing but pb&j sandwiches for a week, she figured it was easier to eat with us at the supper table. and now she's almost 16 and if she's hungry, she goes and makes herself a pb&j and I smile.

I voted put them to bed, but my kids are 4 and 6. Plenty old enough to be able to eat their dinner. I don't force them to sit and eat if they're not hungry, but they're certainly not going to have anything different to eat. I'm not a damn short order cook.
