Dealing with Choosy Eating

Do you have a child in your care who is a finicky eater? Has mealtime become a battleground? Young children begin to develop food preferences and eating habits that will impact their growth and development. Child care professionals are in a unique position to foster healthy eating habits in young children that will lay the foundation for healthy choices throughout the child’s lifetime. This module explores the importance of nurturing healthy eaters and includes strategies and ideas to implement within early care and education programs-including typical young child behavior, caregiver response, and what strategies work and don’t work.
