 1. Be relaxed about it, even if they are not eating.
2. Mix it up a bit. Sitting at the same table for every meal can be hard going. Try a picnic in the backyard or take dinner down to the beach or park occasionally.
3. Try not to give in to whingeing for alternatives to the meal you have prepared.
4. Offer nothing until the next scheduled mealtime or regular snack time (they'll get the hang of it).
5. Schedule snacking to leave a good space before meal times (at least 1/2 to one hour).
6. At dinner, try offering the protein and colorful veggies first, when they are most hungry.
7. Be calm, firm and consistent.
