First, pre-meal organization
0 1
Organize children to wash their hands by rhythm and other means.
Washing hands before meals is a necessary procedure. In the past, teachers always kept children in order and washed their hands in groups. One teacher takes care of the children in the classroom, and the other teacher should pay attention to the safety of the children going to the toilet and the washing of their hands.
There is a time difference between the first child washing hands and the last child washing hands, and there is also a time difference between washing hands and eating with a bowl. This is a passive waiting process for children. If the teacher is not properly organized, the children's washed hands will be polluted again.
In order to reduce the unnecessary waiting of most children, the rhythm that needs to be reviewed and consolidated can be purposefully interspersed among them.
When a group of children are doing toilet activities, the rest of the children are absorbed in rhythm. Children who come back from washing can follow up at any time, which not only takes care of the time difference between children, but also takes care of all children. Without unnecessary waiting time, children's washed hands will not be polluted again. The rhythm of music interspersed in the middle should be changed regularly, and finger games can also be used as interludes to arouse the enthusiasm of children.

Create a relaxed dining environment
The main purpose of pre-meal activities is to help children adjust their emotions and let them eat in a good and happy mood.
The main method is to carry out pre-meal broadcasting activities, and large-class children have certain independence. In order to train children's expressive ability, students on duty collect the nutritional knowledge of the day's recipes at home with their parents one day in advance every day, and act as a small information broadcaster before each meal to broadcast the recipes and their nutritional value to all companions.
Children in middle and small classes are not autonomous enough to understand the nutritional value of diet. The teacher knows the recipes of the day in advance, uses the internet to search for pictures and texts of the nutritional value of dishes, and shows them to the children before meals.
Colorful pictures and teachers' vivid descriptions not only let children know the benefits of each dish to their physical growth, but also create a psychological atmosphere in which children want to eat, like to eat and love to eat. When nurses bring food to the classroom, they use the smell of food to arouse children's appetite again.
Second, the organizational details when eating.
0 1
Standardize the time and method for children to eat.
Experts pointed out that too little or too much meal time will affect children's reasonable intake of nutrition. Children's health experts advocate that children should cultivate good eating hygiene habits from an early age, and it is appropriate to spend 30 to 40 minutes per meal.
Let children master the correct way to eat step by step. Children in small classes eat with spoons, while children in large classes eat with chopsticks. Small classes mainly teach children the methods and requirements of eating in all aspects, such as sitting up straight in a chair, holding a spoon in one hand and a bowl in the other, and catching the falling rice with a bowl when feeding the rice to the mouth. In the middle class and the big class, you learn how to eat with chopsticks correctly.
02
Standardize the route of children's meals.
In the process of eating, there is always a headache for teachers, which is the unsafe factor. Although the children are marching in an orderly way, it is inevitable that there will be splashing or collision caused by serving. Teachers also emphasize safety every day, but it is still unsatisfactory. How to solve this problem?
The trick is that if all children can move around a fixed line (for example, counterclockwise from back to front), then there will be no cross phenomenon and artificial collision can be avoided. This is not a restriction on children, but an excellent link to cultivate a sense of rules.
03
When eating in kindergarten, I often hear such kind reminders: "Eat well, don't talk" and "Don't spill the rice on the table" ... The originally pleasant meal suddenly became serious.
Because in people's traditional ideas, it is generally believed that eating without talking is a virtue and beneficial to health. Therefore, children must abide by this traditional virtue and always remind themselves to eat as required. Physiologically speaking, when people are depressed, their digestive glands are suppressed and they have no appetite.
The teacher's urging for the children who eat slowly and reminding the rules from time to time make the children nervous, affect their appetite, cause their emotional disgust and tension, and cause anorexia and fear of eating.
Through observation, teachers will find that children in small classes don't talk much, while children in middle classes and large classes often whisper when eating. In dining activities, children are willing to communicate with each other or talk to themselves. Personal behavior should not be subject to discipline without affecting other children or destroying eating activities.
In daily life, if some children like to interfere with other children's meals, then teachers need to maintain discipline, let children understand the importance of discipline, consciously abide by it, and gradually learn self-control, so that children can develop harmoniously physically and mentally.

Cultivation of Good Dining Habits
(1) story guidance, model demonstration method. Take advantage of children's love for stories and praises, infect them with a collective atmosphere and set an example for them. Please show us how to make children with strong hands-on ability eat clean and tidy, let children understand that it is very easy to eat by themselves, and let dependent children start to eat by themselves.
② Seat adjustment and group competition. Some teachers put children who eat slowly on one or two tables for the convenience of management, but the effect is not very satisfactory. Later, the teacher tried to mix the children together. In this way, the children saw their friends eating so well, being infected and encouraged, and gradually eating quickly and happily.
In addition, take advantage of children's indomitable personality to see which group performs better and gets more rewards when eating at ordinary times, and rely on the collective strength to help them develop good eating habits. Through the competition, children understand the importance of cooperation and increase their self-discipline.
05
Treat every child fairly.
On the contrary, children can experience the joy of success from their own independent eating activities and develop good eating habits. Seeing and listening in all directions is a basic skill for every kindergarten teacher. When children eat, teachers should pay attention to each child's eating situation, including speed and food intake.
You can't rush your child, but you should remind your child of the time and you can't develop the habit of partial eclipse. They can eat less if they don't like it, but they can't help it. Talking to individual children can't affect other children, so that all children are in their own eyes.
