Your job as parent: Decide what food is offered, when mealtimes occur, and where eating happens, provide variety from main food groups at regular scheduled times, make mealtimes pleasant and relaxed - end all meals happily, offer fluids only at the end of solid meals, no distractions (TV, toys) just to get child to eat. Your child's job: Decide what will be eaten and how much from what you provide, learn to self-feed as much as possible, eat without approval or disapproval - maintain neutral atmosphere. Your paediatric feeding speech therapist will be able to help with ongoing mealtime concerns.
