My 3.5 year old son takes up to 2 hours to eat breakfast (one slice of toast and a small yogurt for example). Other mealtimes are also very slow but it is breakfast that is causing a problem because we need to get to preschool. I have tried alternatives - cereal for example but he doesn't like milk.
If he doesn't eat he gets very grumpy so no breakfast isn't an option. He is also a slightly built child with very little weight gain. We get up in plenty of time and our household is relatively calm but this slow eating is beginning to drive me insane. Can anyone please offer suggestions to try to speed up the eating process! Thank you.
