Babies are intuitive eaters. They are in tune with their body’s natural ability to know when they are hungry and when they are satisfied. To support your child to stay in touch with their body cues and retain this ability into adulthood, there are a range of things you can do around family food times. A parent or caregiver’s role is to decide when, where and what food is offered to children. Adopt a flexible approach to your child’s eating, and allow them to choose what and how much to eat. Below are five areas in which you can support your child or children to develop an ongoing healthy relationship with food. Area 1: Mealtimes
Area 2: Nourishing foods
Area 3: Positive food experiences
Area 4: Body acceptance
Area 5: Role Modelling
