Writing exercise

Original:

I worry about my daughter that she always eat slowly in home, even her teacher told to me that she also ate a half of lunch in kid garden. When I ask she about the problem that she was sat in silence. I thought more way for her,such as let herself eat in the dining room that no one will talk to her in that time; or ask her finish it in 30 minutes. but now, she didn’t yet eat fast.

Edited:

My daughter that always eats slowly at home, and her teacher even told to me that she usually only eats half of her lunch at the kindergarten. When I asked her about the problem, she sat in silence. I thought of other options, such as letting her eat in the dining room by herself, so no one would talk to her in that time, or asking her to finish within 30 minutes, but so far, she hasn’t yet eaten any faster.
