[quote=Anonymous]My son is very similar. He eats one big meal- normally breakfast and then flits the rest of the day. We make crazy breakfasts as a result and if he doesnt eat a good breakfast he will eat a big dinner.

Id work on breakfast since that is when she is naturally hungry- super nutrient dense.

Think full fat smoothies with chia, fruit, veg, hemp seeds/avocado/nut butters, etc.

Then let the rest of the cards lay where they lay. Provide 10-15 minutes to eat for lunch and dinner. Make sure everyone is seated, no electronics/no tv. Ask reflective questions that keep them occupied. Larlo, what centers did you play with today (our preschool calls them centers). Oh you played with the kitchen. Who did you play with and what did you make? They answer and then ask wow that sounds X. blah blah what color shirt was Karla wearing today?

We also do a 'what was your favorite part of the day" question and we go around the table so he gets to ask one of us that question.

And I didnt see it mentioned in previous posts but make sure there is always something on her plate that you know she likes/will eat. Even if its just bluberries. [/quote]
