What is the difference between family style and pre-plated meal service?
Pre-plated means that all required components are served in the correct amounts to each child at the beginning of the meal. Family style is when enough of all required components are prepared and placed on the table for the child to serve her/himself. All items are then passed to each child so that the child has the opportunity to serve themselves. The child should be encouraged to take or sample all items, but should not be forced.
