2. Do not take the child away. To ensure that the whole family takes the same whole.
3 meal. Do not eat in front of the television. This practice increases the amount of food eaten.
4. Limit the temptations of refills: the dish does not remain on the table, or prepare only the amount needed for the meal.
5. Do not eat too fast. Wait until everyone has completed the dish to pass suivant.
6. Do not force a child to clean their plate. Do not mean to let him choose what he wants to eat.
7. At breakfast and snack, replace pastries and cakes by pain.
8. A dairy product per meal is enough and it does not stack two dairy products at the same meal.
9. A single serving of meat (fish, egg or ham) is sufficient daily. No need to give the evening, for example, there were at déjeuner.
