Hey ANgel..I agree with u… punsishment must not be for slow eating..some kids are like that…They can pick up gradually..what i learned thru my years is..we ( me n my bro) used to get punished by my Dad ..but ultimately most of things we wd be doing jus for the fear of punishment n not realising the actual fact of it.. that i dunn wanna happen …Cheer up… ANgel!

I tend to agree with you that slow eating is not something that he should be punished for. You may in the end cause him to have eating disorders or as others have said to hate dinner time and form resentments. I am sure you will get it worked out. Good luck!

I agree with you. I think the communication between the husband and the wife is the key. On parenting, they need to plan ahead of time carefully and reach some agreement on important issues, while for missing parts, they can discuss later on and update the parenting agreement.

I think there are times where every couple do have argument. Hope you guys will be able to resolve this.

As for KeatKeat taking his time to eat, don’t worry too much about it. My girl used to be like that too till I nag at her that P1 they only have half hour to eat. She is now better and able to eat much faster and also with the influence from Z, she eats faster too. Hope BinBin will influence KeatKeat too.

Some wisdom from a grandma: Children's little tummies know how much food they need and they will even PICK food with the vitamins and minerals they are lacking. Force feeding is not good. Children should eat when they are hungry, not when they are not. Eating slow is good. They should eat till they are full, then stop. Sometimes they don't want to eat... and thats OK. Obese children are eating the wrong foods and eating too fast. Food shouldn't be a disipline issue. Nana Connies last blog post..After Shots

Talking about finishing the meals on time. 1hr is very fast.. my boys can take up to 2-3hrs daily just to finish dinner (which is a very small bowl) as compared to the amount their peers are eating. I sometimes think that guys lack understanding when it comes to disciplining kids and that they use it as an excuse to indirectly vent their stress on the mom too. dominiques last blog post..Dealing with holiday stress
