Oh, and no talking, no reminders while the timer runs.

he doesn't eat slow, he is too distracted to eat. Same with lunch dinner, if he is eating cookies, he eats in a second but everything else he just looks around.

My niece is like this, not sure what her mom does but when I have her, I need to constantly remind her to take a bite. She's a good eater, just isn't mindful when she's eating.
