1, because children's digestive system function is still weak, which determines that they need to control their diet more than adults. People often think that in order for children to grow up healthily, they have to keep feeding their children, so they just feed them casually. This is the wrong thing to do. Mothers must be aware of the necessity of children's diet control and popularize the principle of rational distribution of children's diet. In my opinion, the practice of extending school hours in Children's Home is very beneficial to children's health, which can effectively prohibit children from eating other snacks outside the prescribed meal time.

Children's Home serves dinner at noon and snacks at 4 pm. Dinner should be soup, meat, bread, and fruit, cake, bread and butter if conditions are good. The snacks served at 4 pm are mainly bread (or bread with butter) with jam, chocolate, honey, milk cake and so on. Preferably milk bread, milk with a spoonful of wheat flour or boiled egg rolls. Wheat flour is highly recommended. Wheat flour is a grain made of barley and wheat, which is rich in nutrition. Dissolve in hot water and add fresh milk to serve. It is suitable for babies and older children.

Children have breakfast and dinner in their own homes. Children with good family conditions can eat milk with chocolate or milk with maltose and biscuits for breakfast. Toast with butter or honey is the best choice for breakfast. For families with poor conditions, children can drink a glass of fresh milk and eat some bread for breakfast. Eat less dinner, because children go to bed early soon after dinner. For dinner, it is suggested to drink a soup, a boiled egg or a glass of milk, or rice porridge with milk, bread and butter, boiled fruit, etc.

As for the proportion of food nutrition, although it is not required to be so precise, I still suggest parents to read more articles and books about health preservation.

In poor areas, I especially recommend that children in Children's Home drink more vegetable soup. We usually plant a variety of vegetables and fruits in gardens and open spaces, and raise some livestock and poultry if possible, so that we can get fresh vegetables and fruits, fresh milk and fresh eggs at any time. In "Children's Home", we also closely linked the dining arrangement with "life practice", so that children can do meaningful practical activities such as preparing the table, spreading the tablecloth and learning to use tableware.

What needs to be particularly emphasized is that children's catering hygiene must be maintained, including personal cleanliness, environmental hygiene and food hygiene. This is very important.
