11. The amount of food a preschooler needs depends on their height and weight, their temperament, and the level of activity.
***Remember that children grow from near to far, head to foot, and at their own rate, but if a caregiver suspects a weight problem (too skinny or overweight) see their doctor.
PRESCHOOLERS AND FOOD

12. Children do better with 5-6 SMALL meals rather than 3 LARGE meals and snacks a day. The child’s hand size/fist (OR a tablespoon per year old)
indicates the amount of food that they should be given. Provide nutritious meals and teach them about nutrition,
like MyPlate, so that they will be healthy and know how to make healthy choices.
The preschooler is always watching your example of nutrition.

How can a caregiver help? Release the control. Provide choices for them. Set them up for successes. Set an example. Let them know that you are here to help if they need it. Do it with
them not for them. Sing your instructions instead of speak them –kids listen!
