[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those not familiar with Ellyn Satter‘s DOR here is a link to handouts aimed at early child educators:

Yes for me it’s worth finding a preschool already familiar with these principles. [/quote]

Sure, we've all heard of Ellyn Satter.  But to say that she is "evidence based" or the only way correct way to have a meal.  [/quote]

Im confused, I read Ellyn Satter and she doesn't suggest anywhere that you should get kids to eat health foods by disguising them as dessert.  That's pretty much the opposite of Ellyn Satter.  [/quote]

[b]Ellen Satter supports serving dessert[/b] (if there is one, one portion only) to be served with the meal. It can be eaten at any time.

She definitely would not agree with pressuring kids to eat foods arbitrarily deemed „healthy“ in order to eat other foods (arbitrarily in this case deemed dessert) [/quote]

Yes. She puts "cookies" and "baked dessert bars" into the "sweets & extras" box. She does NOT rename them "baked oatmeal" and set up little shrines to them.[/quote]

I think you are missing the point that they are supposed to be served [b]WITH[/b] the meal and the child can eat the dessert [b]at any time[/b] during the meal first or last doesn’t matter.

I'm pretty sure you missed two things: nobody signed on to Ellen Satter who wasn't already on board at the start of this thread, and -- also -- you misrepresented part of her teachings.

So why should I follow your food deity when you can't even get the holy writ correct?[/quote]
