Is it normal for kids to have a phase where they eat a lot one day and barely anything the next? How do I make sure they’re getting enough nutrition?

Psychological Perspective of the Child: Appetite fluctuations are normal as toddlers grow at different rates and self-regulate their food intake. Some days they may be more active and hungry, while other days they eat less. Psychological Guidance for Parents: Trust their natural hunger cues. Instead of focusing on daily intake, observe their food balance over a week. Avoid pressuring them to eat, and instead offer a variety of foods consistently. This builds a healthy relationship with eating.
