The mother of a toddler is concerned because her child does not seem interested in eating. The child is drinking five to six cups of whole milk per day and one cup of fruit juice.
 
  When the weight-to-height percentile is calculated, the child is in the 90th to 95th percentile. What is the best advice the nurse can provide to the mother?
  1. Eliminate the fruit juice from the child's diet.
  2. Offer healthy snacks, presented in a creative manner, and let the child choose what he wants to eat without pressure from the parents.
  3. Change from whole milk to 2 percent milk and decrease milk consumption to three to four cups per day and the fruit juice to a half cup per day, offering water if the child is still thirsty in between.
  4. Make sure that the child is getting adequate opportunities for exercise, as this will increase his appetite and help lower the child's weight-to-height percentile.
