My daughter needs to be 100% engaged during her meals at home. In her case, it involves me talking to her and sometimes singing. I need to sit with her and focus my attention on her. She’s placed in her high chair so she can’t run away. If I’m not giving her my attention (eg. Using my phone), she, too, gets distracted and wants to play something. So essentially I’ve learnt that as a parent, I need to be a role model for my kid. And we’ve grown a lot closer with this bonding time during meals too:) plus it’s less painful for everyone.
