Chances are your preschooler has eaten chocolate doughnuts, Cap'n Crunch, or even caramel popcorn for breakfast. Getting him to eat oatmeal or scrambled eggs isn't always easy, especially when you're in a hurry to get him to school. But your child does want to eat -- and what he puts in his mouth depends on the options you give him. "By the time they start their day, most preschoolers have gone at least 12 hours without food," says Ann Douglas, author of Mealtime Solutions for Your Baby, Toddler, and Preschooler. Here, quick and easy ideas aplenty that make eating a nutritious breakfast fun.

I agree that exposing the kids to a variety of foods is good for them. As long as they are getting the nutrition in somehow each day, I think it's fine to spoil the kids with sugar cereals now and again. My Family loves using A Beary Balanced Belly to ensure the kids are getting what they need. We all love it-you guys should check it out- www.bearybalanced.com

Please read other comment first this is a continuation... Yesterday, I made homemade rice krispy treats, & my son turned his nose @ it. I just keep trying every so many days if he 1st rejects the food. The other thing that I do, there is a red yellow & green item on his plate every meal; I let him choose which one or all he wants 2 eat.
