Part 1: Start here
Dinner with a 2- to 5-year-old can feel like a negotiation you did not sign up for. Your child says "yuck," pushes the plate away, or asks for a snack ten minutes before you sit down. And in the moment, you hear yourself say things you did not plan to say.
This guide gives you words to use instead. It has 30 short scripts in six common table situations, a page of phrases to skip, and a fridge card you can print.
What this is, and what it is not
It is everyday help with the words you use at the table. The scripts are short, plain and calm. They are meant to take pressure off your child and off you.
It is not therapy, a medical program or a promise. It will not make a child eat a certain food by a certain date. It does not diagnose anything. Toddlers are often cautious about food, and that is very common at this age. Your job is to keep the table pleasant and keep offering. Your child's job is to decide what and how much to eat from what you offer.
