[quote=Anonymous]My kids take 30-45 min to eat, so we are often waiting on them! It eats into their play time, but it’s their stubborn choice. After 20-25 min, my husband and I stay at the table but use that time to synch our calendars or look over bills. When they were preschoolers, we used a timer to make them stay at the table for 15 min. They need to go potty and get water before they sit down- those are the biggest excuses for wandering around. If they leave the table without being excused, I take their plate and they are done. We don’t do snacks between dinner and bedtime. [/quote]
