Answer to Question 1

C
Parents and caregivers should provide meals and snacks at about the same times each day. Reg-ular meals and snacks help support successful learning and growth and help children feel secure. Most children need more than three meals a day; the specific number of meals and snacks varies for each family and each child. If children are only fed when they request food, the family will not eat meals together and the social aspect of eating will be lost.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
