I just learned that my son, who has been getting over a cold, had been forced to finish his lunch at school when he said he wasn\u2019t hungry. I want him to be able to listen to his body\u2014how can I prevent this from happening again? \u2014Lucy<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This happened to my son last year at summer camp, so I know how frustrating it can be. And while it can be useful for adults to remind kids to eat enough, especially during short lunch periods, I really don\u2019t want any kid to be forced to eat more than they say they are hungry for. This is what I did. <\/p>\n
