After assessing the children, they all appear to be growing well, and you
see no concerns. However, as you review your findings with Tonya, she
has some questions. Her husband recently lost his job, and money is
tight. Tonya is thinking about switching Trey to cow’s milk rather than
formula to save money. She is also concerned because Dana is not eating
as well as she had previously. After obtaining further information you feel
that Dana is experiencing some common eating issues experienced by
preschoolers.
