They copy what they see you doing, they want to feel a part of the process. Of course, putting things on their plate they like will certainly help. And, as you say, if they are not wanting to eat, let it go until later. You are right, they will not starve themselve. Trying to keep to a schedule and limiting snacks also helps. It is a challenge, for sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
