[quote=Anonymous]Toddler Nanny here and I will agree with what the previous poster wrote about consequences, but I would like to add that preventatively I find that young kids are much more likely to get distracted and start playing when they have a lot of food on their plate. So I typically serve like three things at a time but I put the things on one plate and then put a different empty plate in front of the child and add one or two bites of each thing. So the plate that’s actually on the high chair tray would only have like two raspberries, two chunks of sweet potato, and a little bit of shredded chicken. then when they finish what’s on the plate I let them choose what they want to have more of and give them a little bit more. You have to keep constantly refilling, but the fact that they look down at their plate and don’t see any extra food that they are not interested in eating helps them to focus on eating instead of playing.[/quote]
