Make Meals Rewarding
- Choose food you find rewarding to plan, prepare, provide and eat.
- Offer everyone on the family the same meal.
- Put on four or five foods and let everyone pick and choose from what is on the table.
- Put on two starches— always include bread.
- Match familiar with unfamiliar food, favorite with not-so-favorite.
- Teach and expect your children to behave nicely.
- Understand enough about children’s normal eating behavior to feel successful with feeding.
