What a great thread idea!!!

Things that work/help with my 2yr old:
* If she is struggling to eat dinner we say "5 more mouthfulls" and hold up 5 fingers. Each finger has a 'secret sound' so after each mouthfull she gets to push a finger down and hear what funny sound it makes (animal noises, random things, raspberries etc!)
* If she doesnt want to brush teeth/hair I give her a brush and she does mine while I do hers!

Will come back when I remember more
