Quotes to ponder:

"Instead of worrying about what your kids are eating from the food you've served, focus instead on connection and communication."

"Pressure-to-eat can come in the form of negativity or positivity. Either way, it has the same effect on a child who is learning to eat."

"Feeding kids is a marathon, not a sprint."
