What you can expect
Here’s ten strategies you can try at home to help with mealtimes:
- At every meal and snack time, offer a protein (meat, meat substitute, nuts), vegetable or fruit, and a starch (potato, pasta, bread, cereals) along with a small amount of a favourite snack.
- Make food fun!
- Review your mealtime routines.
- Don’t wait for hunger pangs.
- Offer a meal or snack every 2.5 hours.
- Introduce a visual schedule.
- Try some movement before meals.
- Take the mood out of the food.
- Try serving food family style.
- Offer your child the same food the rest of the family is eating, even if you think they’ll refuse it.
