The -2- a meal is cooked and served is most important and an -3- served meal will often improve a child s appetite. Never ask a child -4- he likes or dislikes a food and never -5- likes and dislikes in front of him or allow -6- else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother -7- vegetables in the child s hearing he is -8- to copy this procedure. Take it -9- granted that he likes everything and he probably -10-. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a -11- dislike. At meal times it is a good -12- to give a child a small portion and let him -13- back for a second helping rather than give him as -14- as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child -15- meal times, but let him get on with his food. and do not -16- him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will -17- learn to swallow his food -18- he can hurry back to his toys. Under -19- circumstances must a child be coaxed (哄骗) -20- forced to eat.
