How to Get Your Kid to Eat

But Not Too Much

Answering a multitude of questions—such as What should a parent do with a child who wants to snack continuously? How should parents deal with a young teen who has declared herself a vegetarian and refuses to eat any type of meat? Or What can parents do with a child who claims he doesn't like what's been prepared, only to turn around and eat it at his friend's house?—this guide explores the relationship between parents, children, and food in a warm, friendly, and supportive way.

It doesn't have to be a lot—even one or two teaspoons at regular feeding times
will do it. Get your child up to the table with the rest of the family and teach him
normal feeding behaviors, just like you would a child who wasn't being fed by
tube.
