Abstract
Forestalling, disputing, and postponing the main activity of eating during mealtimes comprise a routine activity for young children and present a constant challenge for parents. Indeed, securing child compliance during moments of conflict has become a notable theme in the literature on parent-child interaction. Based on a larger corpus of 35 video-recorded family meals that involves a three-year-old child and her parents, this conversation analytic study details one practice—that of conditional granting—utilized by the parents to maneuver the thorny position of responding to the child's requests for alternative food and activities. Findings contribute to the literature on parent-child interactions and that on responses to requests.
