Which of the following strategies would be appropriate for parents to use in teaching their young child healthy eating behaviors?
- a. Give a dessert as a reward for eating fruits and vegetables.
- b. Expect the child to cat foods that parents will not cat themselves.
- c. Coax the child to eat, especially new foods.

Giving dessert as reward for eating fruits and vegetables to young children decreases the preference of food and indirectly leads to overeating food products containing high sugar and fat. Hence, option a. is a wrong answer.
Option b. is given as “Expect the child to eat food that parents will not eat themselves”...
