Bribing children to eat a new food is a good way to help them discover new foods.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
False
Bribing children with food, like dessert, also teaches them that food is an appropriate reward. At the other end of the spectrum lie parents who are so excessively concerned that their children will become obese that they restrict their children's food intake. In some cases, caregivers restrict food intake so severely that the children become underweight and fail to thrive. Pressuring a child to eat more or less than is desired tells the child not to trust his or her own hunger and satiety signals-this can lead to a lifetime battle with weight problems.
