habits can be accomplished largely by
expecting them from surliest baby

mother haa definite responsibilities In

must be served st regular times snd
there must be no Interruptions or dis

given so that the child can clear his

Food Habits
Behavior upsets nar or during the

frightened, angry, or disappointed
child la likely to have no Interest In
fond or to refuse It violently, far
enia must handle emotionally dis
turbed children carefully. Otherwise,
refusals will be sggrsvated, or un
pleasant memories will become at
tached to the fooda In that meal.
Allow the III, tired, or upset child
to miss a men I or to ent lightly while
he la temporarily out of order, and
place no emphasis on refusals st such
times. He may need rest or whole,
some activity to restore his sppotlte.
If poor appetite persists In spite o
all efforts, consult a physician as U
the cause.
These situations are very different
from obvloua devlcea children some
times use to svold eating certain foods
or to guln the center of attention.
