Thanks - I will check it out.

You need to get him a chair with a footrest. It makes all the difference! And setting the boundary that once he gets up, meal is over and you take the plate away. But also at that age sitting still for 5 minutes is the norm.

You can allow for a certain number of “wiggle breaks” if yours eats more slowly but set a timer or something so it’s like 2 minutes wiggle energy, 5 minutes sit back down.
Mine will eat a huge meal one day and 2 bites the next but is still growing so I try not to stress about the amount.
I have twins the same age. Honestly, I just let them go. I keep the plate ‘open’ for the next couple hours after the meal. They come back and graze.
You have to pick you battles and eating all your food in one sitting is not a hill I’m willing to die on.
I’ll add to this- my kids are excellent eaters. We take them to restaurants with zero problems. They eat what we eat for the most part. There is a bunch of research h to say our job as parents is to provide the food. It’s their job to choose what to eat and how much. This is how they learn to trust their own hunger cues and become intuitive eaters. So, I give them options I’m happy for them to eat and they choose what to finish.
Many nights they’ll also have a yogurt in the bath if they didn’t eat much of the main meal.
