[quote=Anonymous]Not saying this is great, but this is what we do. Our almost 5yo is highly motivated by the promise of dessert, so she has dessert most nights (unless she's done something really naughty that day). She dilly dallies over her food, especially with meat. We get her to hurry up and finish by threatening that she won't get dessert, at which point she chows down. Dessert is typically pretty minimal--a marshmallow, 1/2 a two-bite brownie, a tiny piece of dark chocolate, etc. But, just the notion of dessert works to get her to finish dinner in a timely manner. She's tall and not overweight, and is pretty athletic--does gymnastics, swim class, dance class, etc. Last dentist's visit was recently, and she said kid's teeth look good.[/quote]
