3 reasons kids eat more at day care than they do at home?
1. Modelling. Kids learn so much from watching others, especially other children their age.
2. No pressure: This reduces anxiety, maintains their appetite, and helps them develop internal motivation to eat, when they feel safe and ready.
3. Consistency: Kids eat what they like, and they like what they know. Day care menus lack variety, so they quickly get 20 exposures of the same food to help them learn about it.
