When the baby is born on an empty stomach, the belly is only the size of a pea, and it gradually grows to the size of a strawberry at 6 months. It can be seen that the development of the baby's gastrointestinal system is a slow process. As long as the baby refuses to eat after eating, don't force feed, but many parents often expect to feed the baby into a big fat man at once, and they can't wait for their children to eat more and eat more.
Eating too much for your child may cause the following harm to your child:
1, the baby's stomach keeps digesting food, which affects the baby's gastrointestinal health.
2, the baby does not know the feeling of hunger, it is difficult to develop good eating habits.
3. Eating too much may lead to obesity. It is easy to be obese when you grow up, which affects your metabolic function.
Second, establish a sense of eating ritual At Harvard University in the United States, a brain and behavioral scientist conducted the following experiments:
They randomly selected some subjects and divided them into two groups to eat carrots. One group should follow a series of rituals, such as knocking on the table twice first, then unpacking the carrots, knocking on the table twice again, taking a deep breath, then taking a few bites of carrots, and repeating these actions. The other group was the control group, which ate as much as it wanted. The results showed that the group with a sense of ceremony ate significantly more.
A sense of ritual can make children more focused, treat things more carefully, and do the present things better.
What kind of ceremony should be cultivated for eating?
1. When preparing meals, please try to involve your children. Even if it's just small things like washing vegetables, handing vegetables and distributing chopsticks.
2. The family washes their hands together and eats at the table.
3. Thank the cook for preparing delicious food.
4. The family can chat happily, but don't affect the progress of eating too much.
5. Try not to do other things in the middle of eating, such as watching mobile phone and TV.
6. Encourage children to eat by themselves and praise the good places that children do during the meal.
7. Tell children that the meaning of eating is not only to eat a full stomach, but more importantly, to be independent, enjoy food and promote physical growth.
Third, it is important to avoid picky eaters and partial eclipse.
To avoid picky eaters and partial eclipse, we should actually start from our parents:
1, parents should not think that rice, noodles, fat meat and other foods will promote their children to grow taller and fatter, but they are actually encouraging their children to eat more vegetables, fruits, eggs, seafood and so on. Is conducive to promoting the comprehensive absorption of children's nutrition.
2. Parents should set an example, not picky eaters or partial eclipse.
3, in the food prepared for children, as light as possible, do not use salt, sugar, pepper and other condiments to destroy the baby's taste buds.
As long as the children eat enough food, parents don't have to worry about whether the children will lack trace elements, and so on, so they don't have to spend money to detect trace elements.
