[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks everyone.  I'll try the chart idea, as well as incentives.

Q: for those of you who have your kids get dressed before breakfast, how do you avoid getting outfits ruined?  I feel like the cereal milk, yogurt drink, ketchup for the eggs, syrup, jam, etc., always gets spilled or on them.  Having them eat in PJs has been my solution.[/quote]

You need to teach your kids to be less messy. I have one that is naturally a neater, slower eater, and I have another who has to work a bit harder.  Teach them to wait for drippy stuff, make sure they are eating over the table, etc. You could by an art smock, or even just a cheap men's shirt to wear over their clothes in the meantime.[/quote]

Agreed. I talk a lot about small bites, eating over the plate, the proper place to put the spoon or fork when it's not being used instead of waving it around, etc. And also, they go to school with stained clothes all the time. I just can't bring myself to care. It's not like they're not going to spill at lunch too. [/quote]
