My child sits down when having meals.

My child watches television when having meals.

When your child refuses food they usually eat, do you…

(1) Never

…insist your child eats it?

(2) Not often

…offer another food that (s)he usually likes?

(3) Sometimes

…encourage to eat by turning mealtime into a game (e.g., pretending loaded spoon is an aeroplane)?

(4) Often

(5) Most of the time

…encourage to eat by offering a food reward (e.g., dessert)?

…encourage to eat by offering a reward other than food?

…offer no food until next usual meal or snack time?

…accept that your child may not be hungry and take the food away?

…punish your child in some way?*
