From the February 2007 issue of The Well-Centered Child
Here are some ways to help your child become a healthy eater:
- Remember: Meals are about more than food. Meals are a time to connect with your child and support your child's overall development. Talk with your child during meals and don’t let him/her eat alone. This helps build strong family relationships.
- Create routines around mealtime. Routines make children feel loved and secure. They also help children look forward to each meal. You might say a blessing if that’s part of your family’s tradition. Or, share something about your day before each meal.
