Many parents are very concerned about their children's daily diet. If they don't eat well, they will be anxious, fearing that their children will be malnourished and not grow tall. In order to improve children's diet and make them eat well, parents will take a series of measures, but the measures are often like this:

1 Xiao Guai always doesn't like to eat, so every time she eats, her mother keeps educating her: "Xiao Guai, eat more, you won't grow up if you don't have enough, and you can only be a short wax gourd in the future." Moreover, if you don't eat now, you will scream with hunger in the afternoon. As a result, you will turn the snacks upside down and eat them, which is very bad for your health ... "As a result, under the infinite bombing of your mothers, you will be annoyed and throw away the bowl:" I'm full, I'll go back to my room to write! "So my mother finally had to nag and finish the rest of the meal alone. ...

(2) Tintin is a little boy, and everything else is fine, except that he doesn't worry much about eating. Every time I stir it in the plate, I finally take two bites and sit down. I don't want to eat it. Dad thought of a coup: "Ding Ding, haven't you always liked Altman?" Dad decided to give you a chance. As long as you eat well, I will give you a marble. When you have 20 marbles, how about I buy you an Altman? "Hearing this, tintin immediately picked up the bowl, let out a cry and began to eat. However, after Tintin got Altman, he returned to his original state.

(3) Sissy is 3 years old this year. She is so active that she can't sit still while eating. She often runs around without taking two bites. Therefore, she often can't finish her meal after an hour of inking. Grandma always looked at Hong Chen like this, afraid of affecting her physical development, so she chased Hong Chen with a bowl to feed her. Although it is a bit difficult, Hong Chen can finish his meal in half an hour. But is this really correct?

Sometimes I always wonder: Why do children born in the 1950s, 1960s or even 1970s almost never find it difficult to eat? At that time, there were several children in each family, and they were all fine when eating. But since the 1980s, especially after the 1990s, every household has become rich, and the food is getting better and better, but the children are anorexic. Why is this?

After reading so many mothers' reactions, I found that behind every child who doesn't like eating, there is a worried parent. Children often don't want to eat because their parents care too much. When they find that their children don't eat well, they will use various methods to "force" their children to eat, get angry, make a hullabaloo about, threaten, deliberately please, and chase after and feed them ... In fact, these behaviors of parents turn eating, a very enjoyable thing, into a passive thing. How can children eat well?

There is such a child, he is in the fourth grade this year, and his mother is a senior nutritionist, so his daily diet is carefully formulated by his mother, and the dishes cooked by this mother are also very good, so he is absolutely healthy and nutritious every day. But strangely, the child is much thinner than his peers, looks like a little refugee, and because of his eccentric personality and bad temper, it is difficult to have good friends in class.

I have to admit that the recipes customized by senior nutritionists must be very suitable for children's physical development, but this "meticulous" care has set various rules for children: these dishes must be eaten every day and must be eaten in a fixed amount ... A good meal has become a task. After a long time, children will naturally have rebellious psychology, so they will play all kinds of tricks and refuse to eat, and eventually they will naturally suffer from malnutrition. It is also a joke that the children raised by senior nutritionists will be malnourished!

In fact, in life, we should think more about our children and experience the feeling of being forced into our mouth when we don't want to eat. Eating more won't kill you, and eating less won't make you hungry. Give them their own choices, and they can eat happily.

If the child has anorexia, then parents should make the following changes:

Change your attitude.

Parents must change their attitude towards their children's diet. If they eat too much, they should not exaggerate. If they eat too little, they should not preach. Let the children decide for themselves and don't put any pressure on them. In this way, children will not feel that this is a task forced by their parents, and their appetite will be normal.

Step 2 be patient

It is a long process from anorexia to eating well, and it can't be recovered in ten days and a half. Therefore, parents must be patient, and don't see that their children have not changed and can't help nagging, which will only make the previous efforts in vain. In fact, a child's recovery may take a long time, some months, some even years.

3. Irregular rules

Don't set rules for children, such as when to eat, what food to eat, how much to eat, etc. What do you want your children to eat? When cooking, you may wish to adjust and choose more foods with high nutritional value. If children don't like eating, then don't threaten them with conditions, such as "if you don't eat carrots, you won't be cooked." You might as well do the opposite: "Don't eat carrots without meat", which may be very effective.

Don't feed.

Children over one and a half years old can eat by themselves. At this time, parents should not bother to feed, but save energy to clean up the mess after their children eat. If we cultivate the habit of feeding him at an early age, it will not only affect the development of his skills, but also make him develop the bad habit of not eating or feeding.

Don't talk about conditions

Don't talk about children's eating conditions, such as "I'll take you out to play/buy toys as long as you eat well!" " This kind of words will make children feel that eating is a bad thing and gradually reluctant to eat; Even some children will blackmail their parents by eating to achieve their own goals.

Finally, I offer another trick: if the child doesn't like to eat, he will be hungry for one or two meals to ensure that he eats well. But the premise is that parents should be careful not to give their children snacks, otherwise it will have no effect!

Hunger is an effective way to adjust your baby's eating behavior.
