Mealtime frenzy

Mealtime with Kieran is hardly enjoyable because:

1. He simply doesn't like his food (except fries)
2. He takes his time to eat
3. He cannot sit still nor properly
4. He doesn't listen

We are at our wit's end and the idea of eating with him freaks us out. Like most parents, we would like to bring our kids to nice places for a good hearty family meal together. But his behaviour is putting us off.

We tried many ways:

1. Eating with him every weekday evening
2. Taking him out for meals on weekends
3. Reasoning with him
4. Refusing his meal the next time after he fouled his meal
5. Doing what "Supernanny" says in her book
6. etc... the list goes on

Sometimes I wonder if his behaviour a result of us not eating with him when he was younger? Hubby & I love food but why can't him?

None works! We are in a fix and don't know what to do.
