[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 18 months old can eat a lot but she eats so slowly. She enjoys eating with everyone at the same time. At every meal, she refuses to eat & wants to get off high chair to play once she sees 5 year old is done with food & leave the table. She whines & fusses even though I ask her older kid to stop playing & come back to sit next to her. Even though I keep her company eating slowly at the table, it does not work. She wants her older brother to eat with her at the table but she eats so slowly. The whole day, I keep hearing her saying her older brother name, and that’s the only word she can say & she knows what it means. She sits outside the bathroom when her older brother use bathroom.

What should I do to break this habit that she stops eating when her older brother leaving the table. He4 older brother eats super fast because he wants to play.

Set a timer for family dinner; all must stay during that time and your older son cannot be excused until the timer goes off.  once timer goes off meal is over.  Letting your son leave the table to go play is aching him bad habits[/quote]
