1. Make family mealtime a priority. Have a routine meal together as a family at least once a day - dinner is most practical.
2. Avoid distractions during mealtime. No TV. 3. Maintain a calm and pleasant attitude during mealtime. 4. Encourage the appetite during the day : have shorter and more frequent meals : limit meal duration to 20-30 minutes and have 4-6 meals or snacks per day with water in-between meals.

Accept age-appropriate mess. Comments are closed.
