Talks to us. It's gross and not even intelligible, but I'm not worried. We remind them periodically, but I'm pretty confident that they'll both grow out of it or become motivated to address it when they get old enough to care what other people think.

This is my worst fear. I have nightmares about what he does to those tomatoes.

As with all things regarding bad behavior from 7 year olds... just be patient. They're 7. Always praise good behavior

A 7-year-old boy is essentially a cave man by definition.

Have you considered blaming other parents for your kid being the way he is? That way it’s not your fault.

Sit next to him at meals so you can correct him. Make him eat everything with utensils.

That’s the route we’ve been trying. We have to be subtle otherwise his siblings

My second boy did this. We instructed him on table manners for years.

The boy could double his age and still not be old enough to go on his 1st date. Plenty of time to clean up his behavior.

According to CB, the answer for correcting poor behavior is more bullying
