Top Ten "Rules" for Successful and Positive Mealtimes with Your Kids

1. Keep meals and snack times consistent and regular.
2. Eat as a family. Model good food habits and table manners. They will follow.
3. Sit down to eat and drink – don't take meals on the run!
4. Keep a distraction-free eating area - no T.V., toys, or other distractions such as cell phones, laptops, or newspapers.
5. Provide a balance and variety of foods to keep kids interested satisfied.
6. Empower your child to make healthy choices about what to eat and how much. They will feel empowered, for example, if you offer them the option of healthy choice #1 or healthy choice #2, such as peas or carrots.
7. Don't pressure your child to eat – this will backfire!
8. Respect your child's choices and trust their natural ability to self regulate their food intake.
9. Set limits on age appropriate behavior at the table and stick to your boundaries.
10. Have fun! The less you stress at mealtimes, the more fun all of you will have!
