If nothing else, it will at least trick her into sitting at the table for a few minutes while she talks about the picture ;-) .<br /><br />-- PreetaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269504384706870178.post-6134690647602405602015-01-28T15:42:14.527+02:002015-01-28T15:42:14.527+02:00I love this, well done.

Climbing onto the table would indeed be out of questions, but he does not have to wait too long at the table after he is finished with eating. From the bigger ones I request that they wait until at least all kids are finished with eating.<br />I am not sure how much my youngest one is influenced by the poster. Maybe it's more the bigger siblings. But one can always try. If the climbing onto the table is the biggest issue maybe you can start with this one and use a picture of a kid that sits nicely on his chair.<br /><br />We have exeptions when it is okay to eat with the fingers. The kids usually know quite good what is okay and what not. rahelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04163997527799490294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269504384706870178.post-78424716048218693982015-01-24T00:11:24.933+02:002015-01-24T00:11:24.933+02:00This is a lovely idea -- I am wondering, does it w...This is a lovely idea -- I am wondering, does it work even with your youngest child? My younger daughter is only two years old and the hardest thing for us is getting her to stay in her chair and not climb ONTO the table. It is getting truly tiresome, especially when she sits right in her food :-( . Often we cannot get her to stay at the table even for one minute -- she may take one bite and then start climbing, or running off. <br /><br />Most of our rules would be the same as yours but I guess for my family I would qualify "use cutlery" as I am (ethnically) Indian and we do eat with our hands sometimes, if we are eating Indian food, so I am wary of teaching them that using their fingers is rude. But I do wonder if making a poster would be effective for my two-year-old....<br /><br />-- PreetaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
