I have seen the bad of this habit that is why I totally agree with you. I read to my son while feeding him, dunno how right or wrong it is but the fact is that he eats faster!!<br /><br />second, the grand parents thing. Trust me discussing things with them and telling them don't do it this way is easier said than done and I am saying this with experience. Talking to them is like walking on egg shells. Not that making them undeerstand is not possible but you have to be very tactful but even then trust me you can hurt their egoes!!! I have umpteen examples of this!!Smitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06342538308099137615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581763.post-64596777565580781022013-06-30T00:54:04.185+05:302013-06-30T00:54:04.185+05:30Wow!

Secondly, I would say, the sooner you break that habit, the better it will be for your child. The best thing is he is quite small right now, you can easily make a new habit at this time. What works for me a lot of time is letting him eat on his own. Let him try eating, while you actually feed him. <br />I have a child in my neighbourhood, 6-7 year old. He would not eat without TV. He does not find any taste in food. The parenting books and articles say if the child eats while watching TV, he never cherishes the taste of food. You know, it is such a common phenomena even for grown ups to watch TV while eating. I have consciously broken that habit in my home (we used to do that too but you start thinking about these things seriously when you have a child). I empathise when you say he spits the food out. Frankly, we also have to feed the uninteresting food to our son while playing with blocks. He is 23 months right now. I know, it is also not a very good situation. When he eats on his own, he is more cooperative. It may get a little messy but he will learn eating on his own and be less resistant to food. <br />It is scary the way kids look hypnotized when they watch TV. It is as if their energy is sapped and they turn so dull and besotted. Half hour everyday is OK, but you know, once they get the habit, it is tough to break away. It is tempting to make the kids sit in front of the TV to finish of chores but I resist. Now, for last few years, I even forget I have a TV at home. <br />Thank you for taking the time to write your thoughts :) Reema Sahayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11287414476458432950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581763.post-3395360198178440532013-06-28T12:34:20.406+05:302013-06-28T12:34:20.406+05:30Hello Reema,
I truly agree to your points. My so...Hello Reema, <br /><br />I truly agree to your points. My son is 16 months old and has a habit of watching TV while eating. I truly Dislike this and I am working on it. But on the other side, he is very much<br />he is hyper-active and doesn’t sits for a second. Most of the time, throws his food out of the mouth if he is not engaged by one or the other way. I am worried about this but I know, it will be ok. As all kids are different and you need to give them their own time. I like your parenting posts a lot and truly admire the way you bring up your kid. Thank you so much.<br />Hello!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09929324010208235235noreply@blogger.com
