Your children might like to hear about your family meals when you were growing up. Tell them about your favorite foods or fun meals. Some families have a tradition of saying grace, a prayer, or holding hands before a meal. Try not to fight about food at mealtime. Give your child small servings of food.
Children have small stomachs.
They may eat better if they do not see a lot of food on their plate. They like to feel proud when they can finish everything on their plate. If children are not hungry, or if they are too hungry, mealtime can be harder. You do not have to make a different meal for each person, but some children may want more of one food. Some children like to try new foods.
