Although your toddler seems more and more like a mini-adult every day, they still have a lot of growing up to do and their nutritional needs are still different from ours. They need three times more energy than an adult, yet their tummy is three times smaller, which means that every mouthful counts.
Also, do be aware that at this age, your toddler imitates almost everything he or she sees – hence, make sure that your child is not picking up any form of violent behavior, such as biting, pushing and hitting.
