Here are some tips how you can give your little munchkins freedom of eating.
- You can give your child two choices to select food like this your child will be in your control more than before. For example, give your child two choices like, would you like to have banana or apple, give them two choices more than two make him confuse.
- Engage your kid in household work with you which will make them proud that they did something for their family. For example, put these glasses on table or assemble the salad in platter. And of course, don’t forgot to appreciate him for his efforts.
