Take someone 20 minutes to eat one very small bowl of rice crispies?  ? I could eat that bowl in less than two minutes. I now have to leave the kitchen as the faffing and fiddling is driving me mad. |

Simba once took 45 minutes to eat an apple. In the early days he was an incredibly slow eater, could take him an hour to finish a meal. A lot better now, though it did take him 35 minutes to eat a small pizza last night

DD1 always took an hour to eat a meal and could make it last two hours.....we have so much more time now we can eat a meal in a normal amount of time!

Give him a teaspoon next time to eat his crispies, tell him than he can enjoy it even longer  . |

Incy is the same........I am hoping that once he gets an appreciation of time and how doing one thing slowly means he does not get any or a lot of time doing something far nicer (like playing on his tablet) he will finally eat (and generally do everything) in the timescale that is reasonable for that task! I just leave him to it now as my presence just causes him chance for even more procrastination.
I think a lot of it is karma........when I was a child one meal merged into the next as I took so long........I refused to chew anything but insisted on sucking every single thing until it disappeared........a processed pea can take a whole lot of time sucking to do that!

I do dinner lady work at our local primary school.
Yesterday we were wiping and folding tables away , around a solitary table (in the middle of the hall) where ( firet six then) three kids were still sitting with a teacher. Finishing their lunch. With the other dinner lady saying to the kids that "you will be missing your time to play outside "
My two are the opposite. Getting them to wait till everyone has finished eating is the hard bit here !
