Nibble Tray

We are big fans of the Dr. Sears Family. If Sears were a religion, I'd be an active member. I've been reading The Successful Child , and Dr. Sears makes an excellent observation:
A child's demeanor often parallels her eating patterns. Parents often notice that a toddler's behavior deteriorates toward the end of the morning or mid-afternoon. Notice the connection? Behavior is at its worst the longer they go without food. Grazing minimizes blood-sugar swings and lessens the resulting undesirable behavior.
During the day, I make up a nibble tray for Y to pick at. I use a bright blue ice cube tray and fill it with bite-size portions of colorful and nutritious foods.
Some of his favorites are Tofurkey Roll-ups, Apple Slices, Carrot Sticks, Raisins, Raw nuts, and crackers.
