[quote=Anonymous]I don't know how important it is to have family dinner for a toddler, but I can't for the life of me understand why you are training your child to eat dinner at 5pm. From around the time our oldest ate more or less what we ate and could mostly feed herself (i.e. 1.5-2 y.o.), dinner was ~6:30-6:45 for the family. I WFH, so it's not an issue for me to be around. Sometimes we'd start as DH was settling in, but he ate with us. I don't know if one approach is better than another...but barring feeding issues, I think it's better for kids to eat what their parents eat and to watch how they eat it. The latter is pretty hard to do if you're not eating together. I'm also the kid of immigrants (DH is not), so I may place a higher value on food traditions, though.[/quote]
