With this episode, we’re closing in on the end of our 10-part series on the “Dos” & “Don’ts” of Feeding Kids!  We’ll be looking at another mealtime strategy you can use to help your kids eat well.  I’ll share exactly what this strategy is, the problem it addresses, and give you a few ideas for implementing it in your home.   

All of the tips I'm sharing in this series can be used to eliminate mealtime battles, tackle picky eating, and create better eating and mealtime experiences for kids of any age and ability.  The result?  A happy, healthy eater!
