In this exhausting phase with one of my 4 year olds where he won’t sit down to eat his supper. Every evening meal is a battle where he refuses to eat for a half hour before he finishes half his plate and can get up finally an hour later
We had this at one point too. Turns out they weren't hungry, so we changed such that the food is there but they choose whether they want to eat. Instead of eating they could bring a piece of paper and do drawing or tell us about their day for a bit while we sit together.
It worked well as it was a lot calmer and the transition to bed wasn't as big an hour or so later.
Not saying it will work for you, but it helped us.
