    children here must eat their entire plate before having seconds on anything. Here it is always a main, and 2 veggies. I used to give fruit with lunch but that became old fast, so dessert is now fruit, with a special treat on fridays. I found that kids were having way to many treats, ie dessert after lunch, then parents were giving a treat on the way home and dessert after dinner.

    When my kids ask for more of something without finishing everything on their plate, I just tell them that they still have food on their plates. I will tell them to finish what they have and then I will give them more chicken (like in your situation). When they do finish everything on their plate, they are too full for seconds. But if they refuse to eat anything else on their plate, then they are really not that hungry. I don't give them seconds of anything until they eat all of their food.

    I grew up in a home where good manners were encouraged all the time; so even now in my family no one is allowed to move from the table until we're all almost about done if not done yet. Same rules applies in daycare, I have set up two trays with the craft of the day and the early lunch finishers can start working on that, while the others finish, when the other ones see what's in the tray to do then they finish their lunch asap.
