How To Talk So Kids Will Listen?

Praise any small act of sharing immediately

Use simple, clear language like “It’s your turn, then my turn”

Choose a consistent time to start and keep the routine the same every day

Drop one feeding at a time

Replace breastfeeds with formula, pumped milk, or age-appropriate foods

Offer vegetables regularly without pressure

Serve small portions

Include at least one familiar food on the plate
