As a mom of triplets now 7, we have been there when kids start not eating or finicky eating.  When children reach 3, it can seem even worse than grazing.  Around 3, many kids will only eat about 3 tablespoons of food (sometimes a meal, sometimes in a day) but if you pay attention, on certain days they will make up for it.  Make those snacks and 3 tbsp high in nutritional content. 

Let them regulate their food intake--that will keep the right body size.  When we encourage/force eating, their bodies' natural mechanism for eating only what is needed is lost--and obesity is the end product of a body that can't regulate itself.  I worried so I asked loads of experts and ended up with a blog, etc  if you have questions, ask me and I can ask one of our experts.
