Waiting a bit is good to try.
Distracting/ redirecting works

Interesting. I guess I live in a very different world. No lock on my fridge - but also no free reign.
If your house is set-up that kids can take what they need when they are hungry - then a four year old can't really be expected to understand that he needs to restrict himself on yogurt - he has no sense of time.

I don't know, my 4yo understands that we can't eat the yoghurt right after chicken. We also have soy yoghurts that if we really needed, we could provide.
I only wait 3 hours, as do all our children. When they get older, they can choose to keep longer like dh.
I get the picky eater thing. my 4yo is really difficult. I finally get them to agree on something they'll eat, and I make it for them, and then they refuse to eat it.

At that age it's about chinch. There's no chinuch if they don't understand. The age of chinuch depends on the kid and it sounds like your kid isn't ready. Is your family in denial about his delays in general?
