Was she missing enough food to lose weight? I'm very against battling food and believe it can lead to eating disorders later.

Would she have eaten the pancake if she didn't have to eat the chili first?

Kids eat when they are hungry. If a doctor feels there is an issue with the not eating, that's one thing but I don't think making a small child sit for hours over food is a very healthy thing to do. Jmo
