One of my reception class mindees without fail turns the tears on at every teatime, she is a REALLY slow eater and just nibbles everything. I used to make everyone wait for everyone to finish before pudding & then before leaving the table, but its just not practical.
She can literally take 45mins to eat a small bowl of pasta (I purposely give her small portions so as not to un nerve her!) And the boys are just hoovering their meals up so obviously want their puds and get on with playing.
Shes an only child and mom & dad really pander to her and baby her, she still has a comfort rag (which I've suggested is left at home), and I just get the feeling that its her way if getting out of eating her tea if the tears come out.
Any thoughts anyone???
