to eat OR not to eat

This was a battle a few weeks ago. Kaitlyn did not want to eat the food I prepared. We sat togethre for about 45 minutes...most of Kaitlyn's food still remained. We made her sit there until the food was gone and told her not to fuss. She was determined and chose her own option...to fall asleep. We let her sleep for a while, but awoke her soon after and fed her the bites required to get down. She was angry and I may have been a little drastic, but it's the only way to teach her. She hasn't created a fuss since that incident.
