Preschoolers eat when they are hungry and stop eating when they are full. They will not eat lots of food all at once but will consider eating when their bodies demand for them. It is imperative to feed them five to six small meals in a day.
Ensure that the meals, together with the snacks your preschoolers take contain the right amounts of nutrients required to provide them with the energy to play and their growth needs. Do not provide your child with a drink or snack within an hour to meal time since his or her appetite will reduce.
