The mother of a 3-year-old child tells the nurse her child is “fussy” and not as “easygoing” as her other children. She is having difficulty feeding the child because he fusses and cries when she serves a meal. The nurse should instruct the mother to:

1. Allow the child to determine when feeding should occur.

2. Not feed the child if he cries.

3. Provide structured feeding times and routines.

4. Give the child finger foods and let him eat when he wants.
