This is a sore subject in my house. My almost 2.5 year old watches TV when she eats and it is something I wish I had never started. I was of the opinion that it should NEVER be turned on during mealtimes, but DH thought it would distract her and she would eat better. Definitely a culture thing as well as the fact that moms nowadays are more aware of the no no's that now are discussed.
I am going to make a consious effort in trying to entertain her using other means so it stops being an automatic.
My advice is to try other things like lots of fun and stimulating and entertaining conversation which IMHO is what should happen at mealtimes as a family.
My 2 year old started climbing out of her crib last night. We plan on moving in a couple of months so was waiting til then to get her a toddler bed if possible.
I have heard of a canopy that fits over the bed and keeps them in. Has anyone seen these in Dubai?
