Are you unknowingly overfeeding your child? 🍽️
Portion sizes for kids don’t need to match adult plates. In fact, a simple way to guide portions is by using your child’s own hand as a reference.
A palm-sized portion for protein, a fist-sized portion for carbs, and two handfuls for fruits and veggies is often just right for growing bodies.
Forcing kids to finish everything on their plate can lead to unhealthy eating habits and disconnect them from their natural hunger cues.
Instead, encourage mindful eating. Let your child listen to their body, eat at their own pace, and stop when they feel full.
Healthy eating isn’t about quantity it’s about balance, habits, and building a positive relationship with food from an early age.
