See the set of bullet points midway down. Although I find it hard to follow all of these tips, (such as my favorite--the parents decide the what, when and where and the kids decide ‘if and how much’), I think they contain good advice. Developing healthy eaters is a tough road, especially if you did not grow up in a home that adopted these principles (ice cream as a reward anyone?). In our house, we notice that as LL embraces the terrible twos, mealtimes have gotten harder. I think nursery school and similar activities add to the difficulty, because you stop being your child’s sole influence when it comes to food. It would be so much easier if every parent/teacher was on the same page when it came to feeding our children.
