Question
My son is 2.5 and for the most part eats very well. We make up his plate for each meal and he has to eat what is on his plate, or at least try everything on the plate before he can get more of something that he really likes. We also make sure that he remains seating during the entirety of his meal. Sometimes he will request fruit or some other food, before he is finished with his dinner plate. We currently have him finish his dinner plate, before he can have any dessert. My question is should we be forcing him to clear his plate before getting any additional dessert (ie. fruit, cookie, etc.)?
