Many parents have toddlers at home who just refuse to sit at the table. And why would they want to, when they have been allowed to roam the house while eating (or rather, grazing).
What's the best way for parents to initiate a new routine—that is, to get them to sit at the table for the first time? Is it always best to strap them into a chair of some sort? Can I let my toddler bring his Teddy or another toy to the table? What's a reasonable time period for a 2-3 year old to sit at the table? Should parents ever get into the mindset of force feeding (for instance, "you must eat five more bites before you get down")? What are the most gentle ways to get kids to eat their dinner? What about manners? What about TV during dinner? Is it possible to get a good dinner into a toddler and NOT have the experience be stressful for the parents?
