I'd never force my kid to clean their plates aka forcefeed. Full means full.

@separatetheheart I agree. It's inhumane to force a kid to eat.

@separatetheheart I imagine it was, at least in my country, partly from my parents’ generation, who lived through the Great Depression and occasionally went to bed hungry. But I’m also glad parents are less likely to insist on that now. It’s probably also contributed to the obesity epidemic here.
