Some parents and their preschool children have conflicts over eating. Many of these conflicts could be prevented by knowing what to expect. Preschool children are learning to do things for themselves. The things they like to do can change from day to day. And, they often change what they like to eat.
Children often like foods they see others eating.
And, they need meals and snacks at regular times. It is your job to provide healthy foods for your child. It is your child's job to decide how much to eat or whether to eat the food at all.
