We haven't really been as worried about the dawdling as we are about the actual eating. He has to take 5 bites of whatever we're having before he can be done. (1 bite for every year of his age ;)). We don't start the no-thank-you bite policy until they hit 3 or 4, so his sister still is allowed to do her "I'm done" even if she's only nibbled.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663415483489857539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761797783123612828.post-51431127477796785192014-10-15T03:52:54.434-10:002014-10-15T03:52:54.434-10:00I might give this a try.

I know they use one at her school during lunch so she may respond to it at home.

We use one about an hour and half before bed time, that lets the girls know how long they have to play and pick up. <br /><br />My needed area for a timer is their bath time, oy! Those girls could spend hours in the tub if I let them.

Unless its breakfast for dinner -- and then they inhale it and ask for more! As much as I want us all to sit at the table together, the only thing thats helped with my kids lately is me just getting up and starting to clean the kitchen/dishes. Then they get to business. Its almost like they don't want an audience!

And we all started laughing. hahah I don't know why it made me think of that. But no, we have no problems with Emma, usually she's done before us.
