Is meal time a struggle?
Monday, August 4th, 2008I don’t know about you,,,but why is meal time such a struggle? We are constantly shoveling food in our children’s mouth because they won’t eat on time or enough food….says who?
It is very easy for parents to bring unease and frustration to meal time…our children sense this and react accordingly. Once we learned to portion our childs food into smaller portions such that he could complete a meal…it made us happy ,,,which made him happy.
We learned the hard way, children aren’t always hungry when we are (7AM, noon and 5PM). We are now ok w/ smaller portions and snacks along the way.
