1. It is the teacher’s responsibility to make a toddler eat some of each food served at mealtime.
a.
True
b.
False
ANSWER:
False
RATIONALE:
Teachers should respect the division of responsibility: children decide what foods and how
much of each food they will eat. Teachers should encourage children to taste the foods that
are presented, but they must never force children to eat. Doing so may create increased
resistance.

them at that point.
a.
True
b.
False
ANSWER:
True
RATIONALE:
Children will indicate when they have had enough to eat (and it may be less than adults think
they should be eating). It is important to acknowledge these behavioral signs and not to force
a child to continue to eat. If these behaviors are ignored and children encouraged to keep
eating they will gradually lose their ability to stop eating when they have had enough. This
pattern can lead to obesity.

c.

refuse to eat anything except a few “favorite” foods. However, it is important that adults
continue to serve a wide variety of foods and not give in to only preparing the “favorites” to
avoid control issues. Children will begin to eat what is served when they are hungry. Their

33. Why is it important to maintain a predictable eating schedule for young children?
ANSWER:
Young children require frequent feedings because their nutrient needs are high and their
stomach and digestive capacity is small. Serving food at regularly scheduled intervals also
builds trust and prevents children from becoming overly hungry.

34. Describe several strategies for effectively managing children’s dawdling and messiness during mealtimes.
ANSWER:
Children who continue to dawdle (or engage in purposeful messiness) should be warned and
given a set time limit to finish; warn the child that he or she will be removed from the table
in “X” time, and then follow through with the warning by removing the child when time is
up. Also, be a positive role model and reinforce children’s efforts to stay focused while
eating. It is also important to be realistic about children’s developmental abilities; young
children are not able to remain seated and focused on eating for longer than 15 to 20 minutes
at a time. Creating a pleasant mealtime atmosphere and serving foods that are easy for
children to manage will also reduce mealtime challenges.

ANSWER:
There is great variability in the nutrient contribution of individual vegetables and fruits. The

38. What nutrient-dense foods would be appropriate to serve as “desserts” in children’s meals?
ANSWER:
Desserts should consist of nutritious (nutrient-dense) foods that are planned as part of the
meal, not as a sweet reward for a clean plate. Fresh fruits and fruit sorbets, whole grain baked
products, and milk-based items such as frozen yogurt or yogurt “sundaes” add essential
nutrients to children’s diets.

39. Children’s appetites and willingness to eat are strongly influenced by the mealtime environment. Identify and briefly
discuss several features that can be used to create an atmosphere that encourages children to eat.
ANSWER:
Attention should be given to several factors. First, child-size comfortable chairs should be
provided and tables should be of a comfortable height. If children are still in high chairs, they
(chairs) should have a stable base, all parts that are washable, a support for children’s feet,
and safety straps to prevent falls. Eating utensils should be child-size, non-breakable, easy for
children to use (reduces the risk of spills). All eating surfaces should be sanitized and

everyone’s hands washed. Foods should be cut into small pieces so they are easy for children
to manage and reduce frustration. The room should be straightened and distractions removed.

engage them in pleasant social conversation.
