4. “Does anyone want help cutting their meat?  Okay, I cut one piece, your turn to try now.  I’m so glad you were watching!”
5. “I hear that dinner isn’t to your liking tonight.  While I can understand that, this is dinner tonight.  You are welcome to eat or not, it’s always your choice.

I frequently work with older kids too, OP.  I’m hired to help kids develop a work ethic, independence, self-confidence and competence.
