This episode is the second in our four-part age series on answering questions about feeding children at various stages of development (preschoolers, elementary schoolers, middle schoolers, and high schoolers). In this episode, Anna Mackay, Anna Lutz, and Elizabeth Davenport discuss feeding elementary schoolers. They define elementary school age as age 5 to about age 11. We discuss: Creating structure around meal and snack times Navigating snack times without food commentary How to approach your child with curiosity if they aren't eating lunch at school and if sensory input is overwhelming Navigating sugar intake without making your child feel excluded  Recommendations for when an elementary school child does not want to engage in formal physical activity  How to simplify and structure the meal time process, including dessert  What a parent or caregiver could do if a child doesn't eat dinner but is hungry before bed Links Ellyn Satter's Division of Responsibility in Feeding Sunny Side Up Nutrition Podcast  Lutz, Alexander & Associates Nutrition Therapy Pinney Davenport Nutrition
