Portion control

[Momof4]

Children go through growth spurts where they eat so much, then all of a sudden they aren't hungry any more and you've prepared their usual large portions. It's because then they hit a plateau for a while and eat less. I learned that with my own children years ago. When my daycare children tell me they are still hungry I will always give them a little bit more but I had one little boy who would eat 2nds, 3rds, 4ths, so I started cutting him off after 3rds!
