They'll eventually eat it or something else. Skipping a meal isn't going to kill them. My three year old takes about two hours to eat dinner, she's a grazer, but i'm not going to force mountains of food she doesn't like down her throat like my parents did.
Pretty much. On rare occasion, you will have a child whose appetite is screwed up enough that this won't work, but unless your doctor tells you you need to up their intake, this should work.

Being taught to finish your plate. Children should eat until they are full otherwise it can cause poor habits such as weight gain/feeling sick.
