Jut listening without all the opinions, advice, and criticism that usually comes from parents when the kids talk is important. Be sure that you listen properly to them by turning off computers, putting down phones and stopping other activities you are currently doing.

Have healthy food available always specially when going around town with them or just staying at home doing different things. Meals should have regular predictable schedules also so they will know when is the right time to eat. They do not monitor their hunger usually so this should be done by adults through having prepared and ready food.
