Young children's eating behavior improves when caregivers

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eating with children and eliminating competing activities has been shown to improve young children's eating behavior by promoting positive mealtime interactions and role modeling healthy eating behaviors. Encouraging children to play outdoor games while eating or allowing them to eat while watching television programs can lead to distractions and may result in overeating or unhealthy food choices. Permitting children to follow a flexible mealtime schedule may also result in inconsistent eating habits and uncertainty around food, leading to less healthy eating behaviors.
