Supporting Positive Feeding Practices (2 of 3)
• Children determine what they will eat and how much food they are willing to
eat.
• Serving sizes should be appropriate for child’s age.
• Expect skipped meals and picky eating.
• Avoid letting children fill up on milk if they won’t eat.
• Respecting these roles reduces power struggles and helps children develop
trust and independence.

Children with Special Feeding Needs

have special feeding needs. They:
• May not recognize when they are hungry or not be able to express hunger
• Have a tendency to overeat
• Are more prone to choking
• May be taking medication that interferes with nutrient absorption or increases the
need for certain nutrients
• Have an increased tendency toward food allergies

Mealtime Environments (1 of 2)
• Time meals and snacks so children will feel
hungry. Encourage physical activity to
improve their appetite.
• Consider the ease of eating foods, especially
with younger children.
• Warn children 5 to 10 minutes before a meal
so they have time to anticipate and prepare
for a change in activity.

Mealtime Environments (2 of 2)
• Maintain regular times for meals.
• Make mealtime a pleasant and relaxed
experience.
• Don’t use food as a reward.
• Acknowledge desirable eating habits.
• Provide chairs, tables, and eating utensils
that are comfortable for children to use.
• Involve children in meal preparation.

Snacks
• Snacks can make a positive contribution to children’s diets by supplying
nutrients that may be lacking.
• Snacks should be nutrient-dense foods. High-fat, high-sugar items fill
children up but also replace essential nutrients.
• This is a good time to introduce new foods for children to try.
• Avoid letting children eat whenever they are hungry.
