After instructing a mother about nutrition for a preschool-age child, which statement by the mother indicates correct understanding of the topic?
a. "I usually use dessert only as a reward for eating other foods."
b. "I will hide vegetables in casseroles and stews to get my child to eat them."
c. "I do not give my child snacks; they simply spoil his appetite for meals."
d. "I know that lifelong food habits are developed during this stage of life."
D
Lifelong food habits are developed during the preschool stage of life. Therefore, the mother should widen the variety of foods she introduces to her child. Desserts should not be used as rewards for eating other foods. This practice can shape an attitude about food that can lead to eating disorders later in life. Preschool-age children often refuse combined foods such as casseroles and stews. Because they are active, preschoolers require nutritious between-meal snacks.
