Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Caregivers should model healthy eating habits and sit alongside children while they eat. This helps to create a positive and supportive eating environment, promoting healthy eating habits and social interaction.

Answer: D
 Children should be given enough time to eat and should not be rushed to finish their meals, dawdling can actually help them develop a sense of fullness and prevent overeating. However, there should be a set time limit for mealtime and children should not be allowed to snack continuously throughout the day.  Options B and C are not correct as there is no evidence to suggest that small children should eat before adults, and watching television while eating can lead to mindless eating and poor food choices.
