Recently, in an interview, Zhang Wenhong reminded us to keep the habit of sharing meals even if the epidemic situation is stable. In other words, don't put chopsticks together, don't put soup on the plate with your own spoon, and don't use chopsticks to pick up dishes from each other.

In China, when a family eats, they like to make a scene. They take food from each other, which is a sign of intimacy. Parents also like to help their children "eat more". Many people are used to it, so when they first hear "Don't bring rice", some people will feel puzzled. Why?

In fact, whether you eat out or at home, there will be saliva on chopsticks, which will get on the dishes when you clip them. If you clip it to others at this time, it may cause bacterial infection. It can be said that Zhang Wenhong's reminder hit the pain point of China's family.

In the past, some old people liked to chew up food before feeding it to their babies. Nowadays, many parents have given up this practice. Because people's saliva contains Helicobacter pylori, adults chew up meals and feed them to their babies, and the germs in saliva will be transmitted to their babies, leading to children being infected. It is also for this reason that parents may be harmful to their children by giving them food.

What are the advantages of "separate meals"?

It has many advantages to distinguish between bowls and chopsticks for family members to eat, and not to take chopsticks for family members and children. One of the advantages is that it avoids the infection of the bacteria mentioned above; The other is to help children eat balanced nutrition.

We all say that nutrition should be balanced, but what is the amount that children should consume? Many parents don't know. In the case of not sharing meals, children will eat more foods they like, and it is difficult to reach a balance without touching things they don't like. The separate meal system solves this problem, so that parents and children can eat clearly and know what and how much they have eaten.

Apart from the "meal sharing system", what other dining knowledge should parents teach their children?

First of all, wash your hands carefully before and after meals.

There are many bacteria on people's hands, especially children who like to play. It is very necessary to wash your hands carefully before eating. As parents, take the initiative to take their children to wash their hands before eating, so that children can develop good habits. Let the children wash their hands after eating. Because in the process of eating, children's hands may get a lot of oil. If they play without washing their hands, they will dirty their clothes and toys, which is not conducive to developing good hygiene habits.

Second, don't waste it

Now many families basically have enough to eat and wear warm clothes. When eating at home or out, some children like to eat a lot, and finally there is a lot left. Some parents will tell their children that "if you can't eat it, throw it away", resulting in food waste.

In fact, parents can tell their children to fill in as much as they can, and then add it when they are not full. Don't pack too much at first. It is shameful to waste food.

For the sake of children's health, parents should stop using their own chopsticks to hold food for their children. Parents can use chopsticks and spoons if their children can't get food far away, and the same is true when they want to bring food to their children to show their closeness.
