I got her twin!! What also doesn't help is the quicker (or less) they eat they longer they get to play.

tell her there is nothing until dinner time.

she has to eat her lunch or she goes hungry.

this may be a bit harsh... but could you ask the teacher to tell her that she can't go and play until she has eaten more?

hmmm difficult.... in that case i would use bribery

this is what i would do:

give her a tiny packed lunch, that way there isn't too much for her to have to eat,
if it's all gone she gets a sticker. if she gets a sticker every day for a week she gets a prize

next week you make the lunch a tiny bit bigger, and do the samet hing

keep on until she is eating a good size lunch!
