[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep dinner short for DS. He has to sit at the table w/ family for 20 minutes, then he can be excused to play. Do NOT let him watch TV while he eats-- you dontbwant to start "mindless eating" habits. Forcing a child that young to stay seated for longer than that is not realistically age appropriate. Think about preschool activities--age appropriate activities take place in 15-20 minute segments. When he does sit with you and DH, actively engage DS in conversation. [/quote] Good advice. I'd put it at 10 minutes and no TV plus some dinner only special stuff. Active conversation with DC and when DC is done have DC ask "may I please be excused?"[/quote]
