Hi all,
my dd is 3 in Feb, and is on par with other children this age , she has good languauge skills etc.
The problem is mealtimes. She will sit up , have about 3 mouthfuls and then say shes had enough and will get down.
Im unsure the best way to deal with this. My goal is to get her to eat more , however above all I do not want mealtimes to become a stressful battleground so at the moment i just let her get down.
But am i doing the right thing. she is getting older now and i dont want her growing up thinking that its ok. Should i be using some sort of disciopline if she doesnt eat a sensivble amount? i have a freind who puts her son on the stair if he doesnt eat and that works really well with him.
Can anyone offer any advice. TIA
