If she eats slow, then can't pack the lunches at the same time?

Eats slow is a bad habit.  Needs to be change, Egg.

flora, true, if 小米 eats slow, that means we allowed him, and we are free to do other things; if we had to be busy feeding him, then it won't be slow because we are pushing him.  but most of the time I just told him to either finish it or we will take away the food.  when he was little we had no choice, now he is almost 5, eating slow is a choice.

maybe bro egg should set the timer for the dinner time which may able to force them eat a bit faster?

I believe my way and Mickey's are the same.  Finish it or we will take the food away, and no snack/fruit later.  This happened last week....We promised Tiff to make Jello after dinner.  But she ate so slow, played with the food, and not crew the food in her mouth.  We told her if she is not going to finish the dinner fast, she can't make Jello with us.  She ignored us.  So we took away the food, and told her we are not going to make any Jello tonight.  She cried like hell for almost an hour.  She said sorry to us.  We accepted her apologia.  She said she wants to make Jello to us, but we said because she haven't finish the dinner tonight...no Jello making for tonight.  She hugged us and cried badly again.  Seems she was regret that she didn't finish her dinner.  We felt heartbreaking too when we saw the way she cried.  But we have to hold it tough....because we hope she can learn from this.  

Flora, set timer is a good idea.  But you have to take away their food once it times up.  

That's for sure....I though we all treated like this when we are all kids...

ben, yeah that's how they learned

flora, I was a good boy so I did not need to be treated like that.  

me too...but I mean most of our parents who from HK should be using the same treat to their kids back to few decades back?
