Monique wants to help her 3-year-old child develop healthy eating habits. Advise her on what to expect in her child's eating behavior and how her mealtime routines can affect that behavior. What actions could Monique take to create peaceful mealtimes?
What will be an ideal response?
Students should advise Monique that her child's appetite will most likely decrease
from when she was younger. Her child may develop rigid, ritualistic behavior
regarding food, such as only accepting a certain few foods and eating foods in a
certain sequence and manner. Answers should show the understanding that
Monique understands the "rules" children often impose on their eating habits, and
how she can accommodate to them rather than resisting them.
