Good role models at family meals help your developing independent eater
As children become more independent eaters and are aware of what others are eating, be a good role model at the family table so your child can learn from you about healthy food choices and establish healthy food preferences.
Include vegetables and fruits at meals, and as you and other family members eat these foods, it will increase the likelihood that your child will as well.
