[00:00:16.390]I'm excited to present the results
[00:00:17.710]of my Master's thesis with Dr Dipti Dev as my advisor.
[00:00:22.710]We interviewed family childcare home providers
[00:00:24.860]about strategies that work for them during meal times.
[00:00:28.310]In case infants are still being exclusively bottle fed,
[00:00:31.240]take care of infant needs before or after meal time.
[00:00:34.620]Of course, there will be days
[00:00:36.963]where infants will need your attention during the meals.
[00:00:38.560]However, if you make sure they're fed and changed
[00:00:41.190]before mealtime begins, you can sit at the table
[00:00:43.830]with older children and enjoy the meal together.
[00:00:46.660]It's kind of soury, huh?
[00:00:49.070]Yeah.
[00:00:49.903]Yes.
[00:00:50.736]Soury.
[00:00:51.569]Yeah. What color are your peaches?
[00:00:52.402]Yellow.
[00:00:53.721]Yellow.
[00:00:55.340]When infants are developmentally ready to sit
[00:00:57.540]in a high chair or booster seat,
[00:00:59.060]you can have them join you during meal times.
[00:01:01.610]Place their high chair near the table
[00:01:03.570]where they can sit with the older children.
[00:01:05.840]If they're transitioning to solid foods,
[00:01:07.860]the older children, and you, can serve as role models.
[00:01:11.260]If they are being bottle fed,
[00:01:12.750]they can still sit at the table during meal times.
[00:01:15.380]This gives you the opportunity to sit with older children
[00:01:18.210]while still caring for the infants.
[00:01:21.070]Can I help you get a bite? Good job.
[00:01:23.987]You are doing so good at that.
[00:01:26.210]If you have an extra adult helper with you,
[00:01:28.350]one adult can sit and eat with the children,
[00:01:30.500]while the other adult cares for the infants.
[00:01:32.920]This way, you can still be a role model
[00:01:34.950]eating with the children
[00:01:36.180]while making sure the infants' needs are being met.
[00:01:39.350]I can check.
[00:01:40.183]I needed milk.
[00:01:42.404]Okay, well, (inaudible) first.
[00:01:45.574]Turn it in.
[00:01:46.567]Older children can help younger children
[00:01:49.620]during meal times.
[00:01:50.780]Research shows that at this age,
[00:01:52.650]children enjoy having responsibilities
[00:01:54.700]as they develop their own independence.
[00:01:57.040]They love showing the younger children
[00:01:58.570]how to use their utensils to self feed,
[00:02:01.030]providing verbal assists, and helping to get seconds.
[00:02:04.567]And (inaudible) here is.
[00:02:08.513]Sylvie.
[00:02:11.033]Sylvie's bug.
[00:02:12.113]There you go, thank you.
