Take the pressure off: Children can easily sense parental stress and will often eat less when pressured to eat more or to ‘finish their meals’. Trust that your children will eat when they are hungry and will not starve themselves. Infants and young children have an innate ability to respond to their hunger cues. Mealtimes are not entirely about nutrition. It is also a time to bond with family. Children who feel comfortable and secure at a dinner table have better appetites and are more likely to try and enjoy new foods.
