Question 1.

At your half-day preschool program, you observe a parent who arrives early for pick up specifically to observe how much her child eats at lunch. You notice that as soon as the parent appears, the child tends to slow down and stop eating. Generally, the child eats as other children do, Sundays more and Sundays less, and is growing according to growth charts. This parent is concerned about the child getting the right foods to eat. You believe that this pattern of pressure related to feeding may be going on at home too. The NAEYC code of ethical conduct discusses the ethical responsibilities of families. How do you support the parent and bring about the goals of communication, cooperation, and collaboration between the classroom and home? The code stresses the importance of providing parents access to the child's classroom, but in this case, you think it might be interfering with a child's meal. How would you navigate through this sensitive situation?

Question 2.

What if you weren't feeling hungry, but when you sat down, someone served you a large plate full of cooked rice and broccoli. How would you feel? How do you think toddlers feel when very large servings are offered to them?
