Parent Education : Parent Education Avoid using food to manipulate children’s behavior (rewarding behavior w/certain foods or withholding certain foods as a punishment).
For example, if you’re good you can have a special food treat.
Parents often believe that consumption of certain foods (such as vegetables) should be encouraged and can force these foods, bargain or reward, not realizing that this can lead to dislikes of those foods.
Food should be offered, not forced and behaviors modeled.
Parents believe that consumption of certain foods should be discouraged and do not realize that this can lead to increased liking of these foods.
