“Once I put food in front of them, it belongs to them. I don't try to force them, and I never ☺
say, 'Take a bite.' I model, and I let them feel that control and trust because that is
absolutely key. I have expectations for them, and they know that, but I don't let it become
a battle. I always try to leave on a success."

More Tips?
• Not every meal has to be part of the food chaining
process!
• Announce times of meals and snacks to give your child
warning to when its time to eat.
• Keep distraction and noise to a minimum during meals
• Make sure your child is positioned comfortably to enjoy
their meal
• Shift the focus off your child at meal times as much as
possible- this will encourage normalcy around them
eating
