Ellyn Satter’s Division of Responsibility in Feeding Parents provide structure, support and opportunities. Children choose how much and whether to eat from what the parents provide. The Division of Responsibility for Infants: • The parent is responsible for what • The child is responsible for how much (and everything else) The parent helps the infant to be calm and organized and feeds smoothly, paying attention to information coming from the baby about timing, tempo, frequency and amounts. The Division of Responsibility for Toddlers through Adolescents • The parent is responsible for what, when, where • The child is responsible for how much and whether Parents’ Feeding Jobs: • Choose and prepare the food • Provide regular meals and snacks • Make eating times pleasant • Show children what they have to learn about food and mealtime behavior • Not let children graze for food or beverages between meal and snack times Fundamental to parents’ jobs is to trust children to decide how much and whether to eat. If parents do their jobs with feeding, children will do their jobs with eating. Children’s Eating Jobs: • Children will eat. • They will eat the amount they need over time. Some days may be more—some days less. • They will learn to eat the food their parents eat. • They will grow predictably. • They will learn to behave well at the table. © 2007 Ellyn Satter.
