They have definite likes and dislikes, and woe be to any mother who tries to force or who over-urges at mealtime. When" you want feed your child a new food, it's much better to use a gentle-persuasion than to do battle. Introduce an unfamiliar food a teaspoon at a time if you want your child to enjoy the new acquaintance. You can.gradually feed more of the food until a reasonable amount ol it is welcomed: Remember there are ways of getting around preschoolers' food dislikes. When an egg is rejected "as is," egg-enriched soup, custard or eggnog may be enjoyed.

Temperature is important in serving food. Most young children do not like food that is co)d or hot; they prefer a midway'tem- perature. When you first introduce- solid foods fo your baby, have the temperature close to the one he enjoys in liquid foods. Children also like the familiar when it "comes to eating utensils and seating arrangements. A little girl may acquire a real affection for.a bowl, spoon, plate or cup.

If she does, don't try to change the accessory of which she's grown fond until she's ready to give it up. When a child is old enough to eat at the family table, he'll usually cling to a particular seating place. Children differ in their ways of eating. Some of them like portions of food in distinct places on their plata; others welcome a jumble'of foods. My nephew, when he was small, adored chopped beets mashed with cream cheese.

We. never see the charms of this particular corn- Grown-up in miniature--like grown-ups, she has definite likes and dislikes. But sBe loves to eat--especially with her own special bowl and spoon.

Many of the new strained baby and junior foods combine meat, vegetables and cereal. Once upon a time doctors who realized the value of high-protein foods, used to advise mothers to scrape beef and liver to serve to their children.

Nowadays' ready- prepared meats for babies are widely- available. Introduce them when you doctor advises you to do so: New cereals for babies also have high protein content; one of these--derived from oati, wheat, soy beans and yeast--has both valuable protein and pleasant-flavor.
