  1. Day 16 SGQ Standard 3 Objective 2 (page 5)

  2. Snacks & Meals Law • Licensing requirements outline how often and how much food must be provided for young children in child care centers. • Children who attend 4 hours or less must be served a fruit juice or milk and a snack item. • Children who attend five hoursmust be served both a meal and snack. • Children who attend more than 5 hours are served 2 meals and a snack.

  3. 1. Healthysnacks are essential for preschoolers. • Teaches and develops Healthy Eating Habits. • Snacks round out the child's diet – not replaces meals. • A young child eats a little at a time and quickly uses up the food for energy. They cannot go long hours without eating. • It is difficult for them to get the nutrients they need from just three meals. Plan snacks as part of the daily menu and use them to help kids meet their nutritional needs. • 3 meals with 2 or 3 snacks is acceptable – 6 small meals a day.

  4. 2. Guidelines for Snacks and Meals • Mealtime should be relaxed, positive, and happy times; avoid punishing. • There are many factors that enhance the eating experience: • Aesthetics of food, method of preparation, cleanliness, manners, environment/atmosphere/mood, people, celebrations • Foods vary in variety - plants and animals, Color, flavor, texture, odor, size, and shape, • Only introduce one new food at a time. • Offer small amounts with a favorite food. • Set a good example. • Your own food preferences are often imitated by the children so eat with the child and show enjoyment of nutritious foods.

  5. Encourage children to help with food preparation. They are more likely to eat the food that they have helped make. • Serve child-sized portions • Placing small amounts on small dishes allows the child satisfaction of finishing the food. • follow the size of their hand or 1TBS per year of age • have them serve themselves. • Allow children to have 2nds if they are still hungry • Use child sized tables, chairs, serving utensils, utensils, glasses, plates…. • Expect some accidents or spills. • Encourage the children to wipe up their own spills • Do not use food as a reward for good behavior or to make the child feel happy - especially sweets and desserts.

  6. 9. Behavior that is rewarded is repeated - positive and negative • Reward eating vs. ignore not eating 10. If a child goes on a “food jag” (requesting one food often) allow him to have it for a few days, he will get bored if an issue is not made of it. 11. Do not force a child to eat. Appetites vary from day to day. • Remove the food and have the child wait until the next meal or planned snack. • Healthy children will eat when they are hungry. • Healthy appetites depend on adequate play, rest, sleep, regular meal times, and healthy snacks. • Use the food guide pyramid to develop meals and snacks.

  18. What About Beverages? • Offer your preschooler water and fat-free or low-fat milk as beverage choices. You may also offer small amounts of 100% fruit juice. • Water• • When your preschooler is thirsty, water is a good beverage choice. It provides the fluid your child’s body needs. •Be sure to have water available when your child is playing outdoors or doing other physical activity. •Make sure your preschooler drinks fluoridated water. It helps build and maintain strong teeth.  •Many community tap water supplies contain fluoride. Check with your water supplier to make sure. If your water supply is not fluoridated or is from a well, check with your doctor about a possible need for fluoride supplements. •Bottled water is not better or safer than regular tap water, and is an added expense. •“Flavored” waters or "vitamin" waters may have added sweeteners. Be sure to read the Nutrition Facts label on these beverages.  • Milk• • Milk and milk products provide many vital nutrients that your preschooler needs for growth. Milk is a good choice to offer as a beverage at meals and snacks.  •While some children don’t drink enough milk, others sometimes prefer to fill up on milk and avoid other important foods. Preschoolers need about 2 cups from the milk group each day. Help your child get enough but not too much milk. •Choose low-fat and fat-free milk. These have the same amounts of calcium and vitamin D as whole or 2% milk, but less saturated fat. •All types of fluid milk are routinely fortified with vitamin D. Some yogurts are also fortified with vitamin D. Vitamin-D fortified products help build and maintain bones. •Make sure you serve only pasteurized (not raw) milk to your preschooler.  • 100% fruit juice • • Fresh, frozen, canned and dried fruits provide more fiber than juice. Offer them most often. •Look for beverages that have 100% fruit juice on the label. 100% fruit juice can be a healthy part of a preschooler’s beverage choices in small amounts. •You may offer your preschooler up to ½ cup to 3/4 cup (4-6 ounces) of 100% fruit juice per day.  •Sweetened beverages such as fruit punch and fruit drinks look like fruit juice, but may contain little or no fruit. These drinks, as well as some flavored waters, sweetened teas, and sports drinks, provide calories, but little or no nutrients. •Make sure you serve only pasteurized juice to your preschooler.
