same problem with my 4 years old daughter. she is very slow eater .

Hi, Its my experience Im sharing here. in the beginning we used to eat while watching TV. I used to feed my kid first and later we would eat watching TV. once my daughter is 2yrs she started insisting that she wants to watch TV or mobile phone while eating. its so obvious as she sees us eating food that way. we made major changes and started eating on dinning table all together. she used to mess it up but I used to encourage it. she was not ready to accept the new changes regarding eating meals. Gradually she realised that eating food is an serious activity and there is designated place and time to eat. now she eats her food on her own most of the times and at the table always. even if she wants me to feed her at times its no where else in the house except in the balcony or at dining table. And one fixed rule is she has to eat one roti on her own, when ever she wants me to feed her. make food time a family time, where everyone sits together to eat and spend some time for small talks. Encourage kids to set the table, help serve/ pass on little things around the table.

depends upon parental habits also.. I think you can give her a dish and allow it to eat it own. and ask her to choose any one of the item which she like.. and make compulsasion to eat it with chapati . and then watch . what she is doing.. don't interfere or put extra pressure ..

Thank you mauthili .For ur suggestion.
