Introduction
Pre-Schoolers could be picky eaters at times. They often will refuse trying certain foods, but keep offering them. Here are some tips to keep their nutrition going:
Preschoolers have small stomachs and need regularly scheduled snacks so that they can eat when they are hungry and avoid irritability
Offer pre-school children 2 to 3 snacks per day because they need food every 2-3 hours to keep up their energy levels
Offer one defined snack between meals
Preschoolers are more likely to eat food they help prepare
Provide pleasant sit down eating environment
Do not restrict nutritious foods because of their fat content. Offer a variety of foods from the four food groups
