Lesson 6

Lesson 6 · Real Life

Mealtimes

You decide what and when. They decide how much.

5 min

Before · During · After

  1. 1

    Before

    Similar meal times, not much snacking right before meals, screens off. Small portions; they can always ask for more.

  2. 2

    During

    You decide what and when to serve; your child decides how much to eat from what's on the plate. No forcing, no "just one more bite," no cooking a second meal under pressure from crying. Threw food: "Food stays on the plate." One warning, then the plate goes away.

  3. 3

    After

    No lecture. The next meal or snack comes at the usual time.

This week's task

For one week, keep meal times consistent and use one warning, then action, for thrown food.

One-screen summary
