Eating time is always an adventure with kids, especially after they learn how to start walking. Once they know how to walk, it seems their attention span shortens or their willingness to sit still diminishes. This is creates a dilemma for parents because you want your children to learn good values like sitting down at the table for meals. But if you child simply won't sit still, do you chase them around wherever they go and feed them? or do you stop and wait until they are willing to sit down and eat? for busy parents (and most of us are), we don't have time to wait and we want our kids to eat, so we end up chasing. But I wonder if this actually instills bad habits for our children?
