Children won't starve themselves. Well...most won't.
Feed them their meal. It is what it is. Take it or leave it. But don't offer any quick junk food inbetween. Ours realized snacks were only going to be "worse" in their opinion ( celery, carrots, cucumbers, etc. ) than the nutritious meals. So there was nothing to hold out for. They'll eat when they get hungry.
In our cases, they usually came with a bit extra weight, so losing a few wasn't a concern.
