    No.

    Learning to make food choices and judge proper portions occurs very early in life, so give your kids a chance to determine when they are full. Let your child's appetite guide how much food is enough.

    A pattern of overeating can lead to your child being overweight and underfeeding also can lead to weight gain if your child sneaks food when he is hungry between meals.

    Encouraging your child to clean his plate can aid in overeating or a food aversion, which are habits that could set up a child for weight or nutritional problems later.
