Mealtime Rules
Feeding little ones is a whole new adventure on a regular basis. Do you ever wonder if you are "following the rules" for helping your child to become a healthy eater? YourKidsTable.com is a blog written by a mother and a Pediatric Occupational Therapist who shares some great ideas and strategies to help you survive mealtime. Here are some rules she shared on her blog regarding some mealtime rules and whether or not they should be followed to promote healthy eating. She rates each rule as Yea, Nay, or Maybe with an explanation of why the rule should or should not be followed. You can also find information for feeding picky eaters and a variety of ideas about feeding little ones on her blog.
The "Rules"
1. Eat what is in front of you (and no other food until you do).
Nay - I think most parents know in there gut that this isn't the way to go, but many parents with picky eaters often end up resorting to this at one time or another. The obvious logic is that if you only offer your child new or non-preferred food they will eventually be hungry and eat it, BUT this often backfires. Research actually shows that a small percentage of kids will actually go hungry. I can't tell you how many homes I've been in or consultations have shared with me that they tried this at a doctor's advice only to have their child become quite ill and their eating get even worse.
2. No dessert (TV, electronics, etc.) until you finish (all or some predetermined amount of) your food.
Nay - When I was growing up this was our family rule and was common in most homes. Now that several generations have grown into adults with unhealthy eating habits, health experts now believe that using food as a reward is fundamentally detrimental to our relationship with food. Think about it, most of us (me included) look to food when we are down or to pat ourselves on the back when we did a good job. You know what I'm talking about, you got some recognition at work so you treat yourself to ice-cream or you had a really bad day so you hunt down a piece of cake. It fills a void because we were constantly rewarded with sugary treats. Moreover, we are teaching our kids that the veggies/meat really aren't that good, but just something we have to do to get to the dessert. I really want to teach my kids to enjoy a variety of food not just the goodies.
I know some of you may be thinking... "I don't care, if it gets the veggies/meat in their mouth," but it just doesn't work for some kids with difficulty eating and then you are left jumping through hoops anyways. I will say that some feeding therapist use food rewards as a strategy to make progress with kids at times, but most would agree that they fade these dessert rewards out.
3. Take a polite bite/Try a bite for each year of age.
Maybe - I have to admit I hadn't heard of this rule until I started blogging. When I scroll through my main page on Pinterest I will occasionally see an article written by a mommy blogger about picky eating. Of course, I click through to see if I can share it as a resource. Almost every time I do I see this rule listed among their strategies and I cringe a bit. Please know I'm not trying to put anyone down here, but I do have some reservations about this rule. As I said above, it's fine if it works for your family, which is why I gave it a "maybe". Again, for kids with eating difficulties, this is just setting the bar way to high and can put a lot of stress on a kid with sensory processing and/or chewing difficulties. So many of the parents I work with have tried this just to have meals end in total meltdowns because it is too much for them. The parents feel defeated and don't understand how it could possibly work for their friends kids. I do like that it gets some kids tasting and trying foods, as well as teaching them to be respectful, but it isn't a one-size-fits all kind of rule.
4. Let toddlers graze.
Nay - It is true that toddlers prefer to graze on food because they don't want to sit long enough to eat, but for many kids this is a slippery slope that leads to really poor eating habits. In addition, some kids won't consume enough calories throughout the day. I know this is temptingly easy and a particular doctor has recommended it in his books, but if you can, you are better off avoiding it and putting the work in up front to develop good eating habits like sitting at a table and regular meal times.
5. I decide what goes on the plate and my child decides what they eat.
Yea - Ding, Ding, Ding, we have a winner!!! I know this is easier said than done because it requires us to relinquish some control. It is our job to set up the what, when, and where they eat, which is enormously important and can have a huge impact on the eater's our kids ultimately become. It is our child's job to decide how much they eat. I am not saying that means you don't work at getting your child to eat new foods or that there will be meals where your child doesn't eat enough. However, if you set up a positive environment where they can feel comfortable exploring new foods and they know they only have to eat until their stomach is full, then you can expect to raise a child with a healthy relationship with food. With this rule it is important to have structured mealtimes that are spaced 2.5-3 hours apart. If your child says their belly is full after only a few bites, make sure they understand that they won't be eating again until the next meal and follow through on it. By two and a half kids are capable of understanding this, for younger kids do your best to hold to it, but exceptions need might need to be made.
Thanks to input from the facebook fans who provided some great insight on how they use this rule in their home. If you want to read more about getting your kid to try a new or non-preferred food click here.
6. No special or individual meals.
Yea - Serving everyone the same food is important because it shows kids that you are eating together as a family and it doesn't promote picky eating. Although the way we cook and what we serve undoubtedly changes when we have kids, there should be an equal compromise. Meaning, you aren't going to serve sushi or steak salad with your 20 month old and expect them to manage that, but in the same turn you don't need to rotate between mac n' cheese and spaghetti o's every other night either.
If your child is a problem feeder and you are already stuck making them separate meals, then slowly start to have them put something new on their plate from what everybody else is eating. Also, put some of what they are eating on your plate, too!
7. No negative talk about food at the table.
Yea - This goes for adults too! Try to get in the habit of talking neutrally about food even if you don't like it and encourage this same behavior from your kids. I tell my kids when they say something like "that smells stinky," that we don't talk about food that way. Instead of the negative comments, encourage kids to describe the food, such as, that has a really strong/salty/tart taste to it.
8. Sit at the table until everyone is done.
Maybe - I totally get this from a manners stand point and for most older children this is completely appropriate, but I think for younger kids it can be a lot to ask. Depending on the child and what their limit is, start by slowly building up the time. For instance, if your 2 year old melts down after 5 minutes, then aim to keep him there just for 7 minutes initially. I wouldn't recommend making any child sit longer than 30 minutes total.
9. Sit at the table for all meals.
Yea - First of all, this is just the safest way to eat, so many kids choke on foods accidentally even when they are older. Just as important though is that we teach our kids that eating is an important part of the day that is structured and a regular part of the routine. Sitting at the table allows kids to focus on their eating and explore new foods. This is much more difficult to do on the go or on the couch. Of course, there are special exceptions when this rule can be broken, but it shouldn't be a habit.
There is also a section on "Food Tricks and Treats" in Toddler 411 by Denise Fields and Ari Brown, MD. The section includes an answer to the question "How many times should I introduce a new food to a picky eater?" The answer is that parents need to present a new food at least ten times before giving up!
There are many resources to provide ideas if you are trying to feed a picky eater. You don't need to go to McD's on a daily basis in order to get your child to eat. If you feel you are at a loss, talk to your early intervention provider and see if they have some ideas to share as well.

Calm Down Jars
I have seen quite a few variations on the Calm Down Jar/Time Out Jar/Tooth Brushing Timer on the internet lately. What a great, inexpensive way for a parent win!
These jars (usually plastic bottles for the little ones) are filled with a simple mixture of hot water, glitter and glue. You can use glitter glue to make them even more sparkly. The hot water works to melt the glue so that it mixes better with the water. You can change the viscosity so the glitter will take more or less time to settle.
Another great idea is to add a toy to the bottle to increase the level of interest. You can add small plastic toys or shapes. Use objects in the glitter to make the Calm Down Jar personalized for your child.
Here are a few different takes on the Calm Down Jar from the internet.

Respiratory Virus Information
Unidentified Respiratory Virus Likely to Hit Kids Across Country
Sep 7, 2014, 5:53 PM ET
The disease hasn't been officially identified but officials suspect a rare respiratory virus called human enterovirus 68. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the virus is related to the rhinovirus, which causes the common cold.
According to Mark Pallansch, director of the Division of Viral Diseases at the CDC, similar cases to the ones in Colorado have been cropping up across the U.S. At least 10 states -- Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Iowa, Colorado, Ohio, Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Georgia -- have reported suspected outbreaks of human enterovirus 68 and requested CDC support.
"Viruses don't tend to respect borders," ABC News Chief Health and Medical Editor Dr. Richard Besser said. "It is only 10 states now, but it's going to be across the country. So if your state doesn't have it now, watch for it, it's coming."
Doctors say they are not even sure yet how this particular virus spreads, though the back-to-school season is a normal time for illnesses to spread among children.
"This is a very common time for outbreaks. Kids come back to school, they like to share things, they bring them home to their little brothers and sisters, and enteroviruses tend to occur in the summer," Besser said. "But this one, this particular Enterovirus 68, is very rare and they have no idea why it showed up this year."
At Children's Hospital Colorado in Denver, officials say that between Aug. 18 and Sept. 4, doctors saw more than 900 pediatric patients with symptoms of the respiratory virus in the emergency room. Of those who came in, 86 were admitted into the hospital and a handful ended up in the intensive care unit.
"It can start just like a cold -- runny nose, sneezing, coughs -- but it's the wheezing you have to watch out for," Besser said.
Dr. Christine Nyquist, a pediatrician at Children's Hospital Colorado, said the virus usually ends up appearing similar to a severe cold but can be particularly dangerous for children with asthma because of how it affects the respiratory system.
"The kids are coming in with respiratory symptoms, their asthma is exacerbated," Nyquist said. "Kids with no wheezing are having wheezing."
At Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children, Dr. Raju Meyappan, a pediatric critical care physician, said he's seen at multiple children end up in the pediatric intensive care unit after being infected with the virus and that children under the age of 5 or those with asthma appear to be most at risk.
In one particularly severe case, Meyappan said a 13-year-old asthmatic patient ended up in the emergency room just one day after showing basic cold-like symptoms, including cough and runny nose.
His asthma became so severe on the second day the teenager turned blue and was rushed to the emergency room, where doctors gave him an emergency breathing tube.
The patient was one of multiple asthmatic pediatric patients who ended up sedated in the intensive care unit with a breathing tube, Meyappan said. Patients who needed breathing tubes spent between four to seven days sedated and intubated as they recovered, he said.
"As a pediatric ICU doctor, we try our best not to intubate kids with asthma at any point in time," said Meyappan, who added that only the most severe cases warranted intubation. "They all needed it. The onset [of the virus] is severe."
Meyappan said currently four patients were in the pediatric ICU recovering.
There are multiple reasons why the outbreak was hitting Denver now, instead of later in the fall or winter when cold and flu infections start to rise, Nyquist said.
In addition to school starting, Nyquist said, some children with asthma could have seasonal allergies that are exacerbated by the virus.
"Any kind of viral infection can kick off wheezing and asthmas," she said. "People with asthma know what triggers their asthma. A viral infection is one thing and this is the one that is circulating."
To stay healthy, the CDC recommends basic sanitary practices to avoid spreading the virus, including washing hands, avoiding those who are sick, and covering the nose and mouth during sneezes or coughs.
Meyappan said parents of asthmatic children should make sure that their children's inhalers are easily accessible and that there is a treatment plan in place if an asthma attack continues to get worse.
"Make sure [parents] talk to all their caregivers about what to do if [the child has] an asthma attack and where to go if they need help," Meyappan said. "I think having a game plan in place helps."
