You’re tired of the fights at mealtime. And you don’t feel good about serving plain pasta with butter again. But you also don’t want to argue every time you sit down to eat. Why is it so hard to get children to eat nutritious meals?

In today’s episode, Dr. Vieira dives into your preschooler’s eating behaviors and the many tricky decisions parents have to make at mealtimes. Like whether you should force your child to sit at the table until they’ve finished, and whether or not bribing or rewarding with food is okay.

And toward the end of each episode, Dr. Vieira answers questions from parents just like you. Today’s questions cover topics like food refusal and fixations on sweets.
