[quote=Anonymous]i highly recommend ellyn satter "child of mine" on all things feeding. made me feel better about my skinny young toddler's eating (i.e. he's normal!) and gave me some concrete tips to help give some structure to his mealtime. basically, offer meals and snacks at set times (we try to follow daycare schedule at home) and make sure each meal/snack is "complete" (carb/protein/fat). also, trust your kid to know when they're full/hungry. are you eating meals with your kids? in my experience, my toddler tends to eat much, much better when we are at the table eating with him. (so for me, distracting him with music/books/tv would *not* work at all - he'd be super-mesmerized by them and wouldn't eat and would just want to read the book or dance or whatever)[/quote]
