Talks To 79 By Alice Judson Peala

Cooked cereal has a way of becoming an unwelcome sight to the child who faces a bowl of it every morning of his life between October and June. Here are a few ways of making it appetizing and attractive. Keep four or five different kinds and serve a different one nearly every day. Let the child sweeten it himself with honey or brown sugar. Serve it sometimes with butter instead of milk. If the doctor permits nuts in the child's diet, a few chopped peanuts or almonds will make it a treat. Mix in raisins or dates just before serving. Sprinkle it with dry coconut or some dry cereal. If the child has grown bored with cereal, wait a few days or serve it now and then for supper. Avoid overly large servings. Ensure it is well cooked, not too stiff nor too thin and not fancy. Look up simple cookies, breads and puddings that can be made with cereal. Served in these forms he will eat eagerly. Do not show you are anxious for him to eat. This makes it more amusing for him to refuse. Do not hover over the bowl. If he struggles one day, give a smaller portion the next. When introducing a new cereal, give only a small amount. If he asks for more, tell him he may have a bigger dish tomorrow.
