It's driving me mad! Will it just stop eventually or should I be 'doing' something about it. I really don't want meal times to be stressful but do want good manners. I know she's too young really BUT...perhaps she isn't. I think she's distracted and wants to play. I usually say she can get down if she's finished and she hops down and then starts asking to watch a DVD / get me to play with her so I say that I will after dinner etc. She will always come back to sit down 3 or 4 times to eat some more. Today after all the malarky and she had seemingly finished, I put some of her dinner in a small bowl and gave it to her on the sofa and then she ate it, so she's obviously still hungry.
What do you think?
