[quote=Anonymous]Let me preface this by saying I have two kids. One who seemed to never get enough food and one that is more selective in what he will eat. Past the infant stage, I never allowed them to have toys while eating and the adults don't use tech while eating with the kids. We talk. Everyone gets a turn and interrupting someone is frowned upon. I have a friend who's toddler used to run around the kitchen/house in between bites of food. Not ideal. There was no reason for it. It drove me nuts. He wasn't/isn't hyper. He was a runner though. Just about anywhere they would go he would just bolt. I chalked it up to bad parenting and a stay at home mom that was overwhelmed. He did grow out of it with a lot of encouragement. He's a good kid now. You could let them not eat dinner. When they get up early, they can play quietly in their room(s), but won't get breakfast until a reasonable hour. A couple of days of doing this and they will likely change their tune. [/quote]
