[quote=Anonymous] - Don't offer separate meals, or alternates - Don't let the child over-snack and fill up constantly on cheerios or those little puff things. It is healthy to actually be a little hungry when a meal time rolls around. If your child needs a snack, give them something they would eat at a meal-- ie sweet potato, carrot sticks, or I used to strain the vegetables out of our homemade soups for them at that age-- now they happily eat bowls of thick vegetable soups. You can also let them experiment with hummus a bit too-- one of my kids used to love hummus as a toddler - Serve vegetables first, when they are hungriest. As a child, who would want to eat your share of strawberries or another sweet food and then move on to broccoli? It should go in the other direction-- broccoli and carrots first, then sweet foods to top off the meal.[/quote]
