Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food 1 it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an 2 served meal will often improve a child's appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food and never 3 likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says he hates fatmeat or the mother 4 vegetables in the child's hearing he is likely to copy this procedure. Take it 5 granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a supposed dislike. At meal times it is a good 6 to give a child a small portion rather than give him as 7 as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child 8 meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will 9 learn to swallow his food so he can hurry back to his toys. Under 10 circumstances must a child be coaxed(哄骗) or forced to eat.
