I have a 7 year-old daughter! She is a sweet girl but also naughty! Her biggest shortcoming is that she is slow to do everything -- especially eating meals! I told her, ”Honey, you must eat your meal in an hour, Could you finish it?” '“Yeah!” Then half an hour passes, and her meal was only half eaten! “Honey, don’t play with your toy now. It's been half an hour!“ ”Yeah! I’ll finish it!” But she didn't eat anything. She still played with her toy. I was so angry with her that I took away her toy. She began eating the food immediately. A few minutes passed, and her old problem came back again. She played with her fingers! Oh my god! I had lost my patience and warned her for the last time. ”Jessie, If you don’t finish your food in ten minutes, I’ll take away your meal!" "Okay!" Time flew by. Finally, her food was dumped and she cried loudly! I don’t know how to solve this troublesome problem! (You should take her food the first time, next time! That way, you don't have to warn her in the future. She will eat the first time without complaining.)
