I start singing it to signal to the whole family that food is ready to be eaten. Whoever is not in his or her chair by the end of the song gets a one-minute timeout from his or her food. This goes for parents and children alike. It is totally magical and has been working for us for ... I don't know ... four years now? Maybe more? Craziness. I was so tired of calling out and eventually shouting to try to drag people away from interesting toys or books or projects to come and eat. Now, sing a song, and we're all there!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024121070870679876noreply@blogger.com
