– Children naturally have low attention spans, and they usually like playing more than eating.
– Hence, instead of focusing on what your child eats every single day it’s better to ensure they’re eating well throughout the course of a week or so, and that they’re following their growth curve when visiting the doctor.
– It’s important to check if your child is actually hungry (has not had a snack or meal recently) and is ready to sit. To build an appetite for them, it is important to make the food look attractive, taste good, and make mealtimes fun.
– Consider giving your child a few food options and letting them have their pick. To encourage eating, place an appealing, familiar favorite food item on their plate.
– Create an encouraging feeding environment by arranging the plates and the food artistically and avoiding the screens.
