Children learn from their parents. We are their first teachers. This includes everything from right and wrong to how and what to eat. Do you think that your child is eating too much? There are ways to tell and also ways to correct a potential problem before it gets out of hand.
Children are smart
Kids are born with plenty of instincts. There are things they must learn about but also things that they already know. For instance, when a child is no longer hungry they will stop eating. Seems reasonable, huh? They move on to other things and never look back.
