At approximately 18 months of age, most toddlers manifest lower nutritional need and decreased appetite, a phenomenon known as physiologic anorexia which is often manifested as a picky, fussy eater with strong taste preferences, and erratic eating patterns. Toddlers are learning to differentiate self and social boundaries and may be disruptive while sitting at the table, so offering nutritious finger foods (A) is a good way to ensure proper nutrition during this stage. Although rewards (B) act as reinforcers, children may eat for nonnutritive reasons, which may affect subsequent eating habits. (C) does not ensure that the toddler will eat at mealtime.
