Geez. It took me 2 hours to get my daughter to finish her dinner. She just stores the food in her cheeks like a chipmunk and I have to always plead with her to chew and swallow. How about you - What is the longest your child ever took to finish a meal? And how can I get my kid to speed it up???

Same here. I will tell my toddler. Don't want to eat? I will take it away.

Give a time limit and keep the food away once its up.

Mine average 45 mins- 1 hour. If very hungry, 20 mins

For me it's simple. Either eat, or I take it away.

Ooh! I like it tiz way!

Haha thanks Aeryn
