Ok, so now I will do these:
(1) Sit close to her but don't mess her while she is eating, to make sure she is comfortable with people around and trust people who are around.
(2) Only occasionally (maybe 1 in 20 times) ask her to stop for a couple of seconds while she is eating, to make sure she is okay in the case we need to get her bowl.
(3) Never take her food and bowl away. If I want to check is she is okay with my hand around, I will only add more food to give her good impression.
Do these sound correct?
