Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The preschool-age child might become more interested in trying new foods and eating if he is allowed to participate in meal preparation. Allowing a small child to plan a menu is beyond his capabilities, although he may be included in making choices between a few items, such as peas or carrots. The child in the grocery store will choose foods that are bright and colorful but not necessarily healthy choices. Occasionally serving foods that the child likes is appropriate, but children of this age tend to choose the same foods over and over, and need to be introduced to variety.
