A. If your toddler hasn't eaten the food, calmly take it away. Don't offer an alternative snack or meal. Just offer regular drinks of water until the next snack or mealtime. Avoid bribing your toddler with treats just so they'll eat some healthy food.If your child doesn't eat at the meal, offer a nutritious snack a few hours later. If your child doesn't eat the snack, offer food again at the next mealtime. A child will usually eat at the second meal. With this approach, you can help make sure your child won't have problems with a poor diet.Serve very small portions to start to keep your own expectations of how much they should be eating in check. ...Space out meals to 2-3 hours apart to allow time for hunger to build. ...Remember that there are simply times when kids aren't hungry or aren't as hungry as we expect.There are a few reasons for this: Toddler appetites vary constantly because of growth spurts and changing activity levels. Growth slows down in the toddler years, so toddlers don't eat as much as they did when they were babies. Toddlers have small stomachs.
