A child's relationship to food and basic eating habits develop early in childhood. Support this statement
The caregiver's goal is to feed children age-appropriate food that meets nutrition needs and do this in a way that allows adequate support and encouragement. Micromanaging a child's eating or providing little support or chaotic feeding methods can increase emotional and physical problems such as irritability, depression, anxiety, fatigue, and illness. Because children learn partly by imitation, learning good eating habits is easier if parents role model those habits. Nutritious foods should be available at mealtime as well as snack time. Meals should include a wide variety of foods to ensure good nutrient intake.
