I am genuinely curious about this "practice" as I allow kids to leave the table for what I feel are the same reasons. :

1. Manners ~ Leave if you are not actively participating in the current activity. (I think requiring a child to sit when they don't want to creates other issues).
2. If one child leaves to go lay down, the other kids tend to focus more on eating. They don't want to go lay down.

All my kiddos eat fantastic! I think because we don't allow unnecessary food drama at the table.
I have several families that don't buy veggies because the parents don't like veggies too! But oddly, their children are the biggest veggie eaters here. Favorites here are odd ones too....pepper strips, broccoli, asparagus, beets, snow peas etc.
I guess it's a perfect example of how different approaches can net the same results. Nice!
