So my sibling set is here for dinner some nights now. Before I was only doing breakfast before school. Mom's hours have changed so I have them for dinner now. They are picky eaters but I usually get them to eat something. They are a year apart in age and the 6 year old is the issue right now. She talks non-stop. I understand meal times are for conversation, I get that but am not sure how to deal with the fact that she doesn't get any eating done for the talking. I am talking foods she will eat, well would if she wasn't talking. I don't want to say no talking during meals, because I don't believe that is the right answer. How have the rest of you handled this?
