Great advice! Somehow I think it was easier for our parents, wasn’t it? Not as many distractions.

It's fun to see how a 3 year old recounts the day. We've tried to not make eating a big deal. They eat or they don't, but they have to stay at the table until my husband or I are finished. We keep the plates in case they ask for food later in the evening, but they rarely come back. I once heard that a Tablespoon per year is a good way to look at servings for toddlers. It seems to work with our little ones. We really enjoy family time at dinner. It’s fun to see how a 3 year old recounts the day. We’ve tried to not make eating a big deal.
