Many parents, grandparents and childcare providers are often frustrated by toddlers’ and pre schoolers’ eating patterns at mealtime. Problem eaters will often refuse food or will only eat the same food, day after day. If you have experienced some of these problems, read on to find possible solutions. • Child Has Small Appetite The growth rate of toddlers slows at age one and so does the appe tite. If your child doesn’t eat much, you will need to see what she does eat is nutritious. Offer small sandwiches, fresh fruits, and vegetables or leftovers as snacks. • Avoid allowing her to satisfy her appetite on low nutrient foods like candy, cake, chips or cookies. Try to offer food before she gets tired and cranky. Overly hungry children are sometimes too weak and upset to eat. Check with your doctor to see if there may be a medical reason for the limited appetite. • Child Won’t Try New Foods Forcing a child to eat a partic ular food usually just creates a bad association with the food which can last for years. About all you can do is try various methods of preparation and offer it occasionally without reference to the fact that the child didn’t like it before. Infants and toddlers have more taste buds than adults do and they may truly not like some foods. Remember, too, that food temperatures make a difference. Foods that are too hot or too cold will not be well accepted. Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July 28,2001-B9 • Child Demands the Same Food Over and Over It is not uncommon for a preschooler to go on food jags and want the same food over and over. These periods usually do not last too long and are often an expression of independence. As long as the food in demand is not a high sugar or other empty calorie food, allow the child his food choice and hope that the phase passes quickly. • Child Won’t Eat Vegetables Vegetables have a bad reputa tion, especially with children. Creative preparation may help to make them more acceptable. Buy an inexpensive steamer basket and try steaming fresh vegetables over a small amount of boiling water. Cook for only a few min utes until tender, but still crisp and brightly colored. Combine several vegetables and steam to gether to add color and interest. Strong tasting vegetables like cabbage takes on a mild, sweet flavor when simmered just until tender in a small amount of milk. Forcing a child to eat vege tables will often create unneces sary tension at mealtime. If cook ed vegetables are rejected with dinner, try offering fresh vege tables with a dip as an afternoon snack. Children over three can handle most vegetables served raw. Try to stimulate an interest in vegetables by allowing your child to help select them at the market or grow them at home. • Child Spills Often; Uses Fin gers This is normal behavior for young people. Coordination is not yet well developed so fingers work better than forks. Feeling food with the hands is one way toddlers can explore their envi ronment. When mealtime spills occur, handle them calmly and matter of factly. When you give too much attention to your child’s bad behavior, she may begin to seek attention by intentionally spilling or misbehaving. Be gentle and consistent with enforcing table manners and know that as the child matures. so will their eating habits. Remember to sit and eat with the child and set a good example. The greatest gift you can give is commitment to a child. • Excellent Training • Support • Reimbursement FAMILIES UNITED NETWORK CALL 1-800-722-0136
