Providing Progressive Mealtimes To Toddlers

Hi, I can't seem to think of another way to add to my answer
You have recently commenced work in the two to three-year-old room at an early childhood education and care service. This service provides progressive meal times so that children can choose to eat when they are hungry, rather than according to a timetable. As part of this mealtime procedure, educators simply place food on a table and move away from the area. Children approach the table at their own leisure when they notice the snack or meal has been served. However you notice at times, not all children eat throughout the day, and they are not encouraged to eat by the educators.
You also notice during mealtimes educators stand to one side discussing personal matters until the children have finished eating. Yesterday, a two-year-old choked on a piece of meat and you were the only educator in the room who noticed.
Q4. Outline two ways that you could include the children in the creation of a new transition within their daily routine.
Two ways to included children in the transition within their daily routine are
• Talk about the food available on the day,
What else could I add?
Thanks
