[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you start her earlier while she is really hungry? [/quote] Yes, I'd start the younger one 10 minutes before everyone else, while you are still finishing the food for the rest of the family. And then I'd ask your 5 year old to sit at the table while the rest of you eat. He can be done, but must sit with the family. If he is normally up after 5 minutes, I'd go by 5 minute increments. So first make him sit for 10 minutes. Then 15 next week. I'd think about 20 minutes is the longest I'd ask him to sit because you'll have the best compliance. When he's a bit older, you can stretch it longer. [/quote]
