" you don't want to eat vegetables, eh?" *spank/hit* I think that's a stupid reason. I think you could probably train kids like dogs when the do something good reward them.
That's stupid in my opinion. You'd hit your kid because he didn't want to eat his vegetables? Try something like, "Well, you aren't leaving that chair until you do." would be just fine. I think explaining the importance of the nutrition that comes from vegetables would be good as well. You could always throw in a white lie such as, "You won't grow if you don't eat your vegetables."
