                                            This common scenario is a great example of how a child's energy, focus, and behavior are directly linked to the food they eat. It's not about being "good" or "bad"... it's about fuel!
If you find yourself in a similar position, this is a great opportunity for gentle education! Instead of demanding they eat or only giving them one option for something they haven't eaten in the past, focus on connecting food to feelings. Try saying, "This oatmeal will give you the long-lasting energy you need to play tag and build blocks at preschool! Let's see how strong it makes you feel."
Educate, reframe, and try, try again!
