My friend called me and said that his 2-and-a-half-year-old son was worried to death because he didn't eat well. Do you have any good ideas?
I probably learned on the phone that every time his son eats, it's like an "earthquake and tsunami" at home.
If you don't eat, don't eat
The scene of her son eating reappears:
Eating is never delicious?
don't want to eat?
don't sit and eat! Run and eat!
Grandma ran to feed the children;
if the child doesn't eat, the mother will yell there, and the father will train there!
Grandpa was there coaxing: "Good boy, have a bite!"
The family is in full swing for this little guy's meal. It's really annoying for the little guy to eat! Think of this picture and I will shout tired for them!
children don't eat well. Bad eating habits not only make the whole family suffer, but also make children grow up badly.
We will also meet such children in kindergarten. They are thin and thin, have no appetite to eat, and eat very little. Most of these children have very bad eating habits at home! Factors such as inattention to eat, love to eat snacks before eating, irregular work and rest being disrupted, and disharmony between meals and tastes will all affect children's taste buds.
What should I do if I answer my friend's question today and my child doesn't eat well?
You can try to cultivate children's appetite and initiative to eat from the following four aspects, and think that eating is the most meaningful thing, and eating is the greatest and important job. 1. If you don't eat, starve him.
If the child doesn't eat and doesn't want to eat, parents shouldn't feel bad, just starve him, even if he doesn't want to eat. If a child doesn't want to eat, it proves that he is not hungry and has no demand. If he doesn't eat, he won't eat. Never force the child to force the child to eat. Over time, the child will form a kind of resistance to eating, which will cause aversion to eating.
A two-and-a-half-year-old boy in our nursery is called Doudou. I think his eating habits are the best. When his grandmother came to pick him up, I said to Grandma Doudou, "Doudou has a good eating habit. When eating, he is quiet, attentive, and delicious. The desktop and floor are clean, and the clothes and plates are kept clean!"
Grandma Doudou said, "Our family has always cultivated the good habit of Doudou eating since childhood. His father was a policeman and soldier. From the beginning, we were not allowed to run and chase to feed our children. We had to concentrate on eating at dinner time, and we had to sit at the dining table and eat seriously. We were not allowed to leave the dining table and play with toys. If we left our seats to play with toys, even if the food was not finished, we were not allowed to eat any more. All the rice bowls and dishes were put away. Children are not given snacks in the middle. Therefore, as long as our peas are eating, they are absolutely absorbed in sitting on the dining table and eating delicious food. After eating, they leave the dining table to do other things. "
It turns out that the family members have the same educational concept, and they all ask their children to cultivate their good eating habits together.
Grandma Doudou specially added an important topic: If Doudou doesn't want to eat, we won't give him food, respect him, and never give him extra meals or snacks before he gets hungry. He must wait for the whole family to eat together at dinner time, so that when the child is hungry, he will experience the importance of the food, experience the fragrance of the food, and abide by the rules and regulations when eating. 2. Eating is your own business.
Children must be trained to eat, clip, scoop and pour by themselves. These movements are to be practiced and completed by yourself. Parents must not do everything. They think that their children are too young to eat by themselves. They are afraid that their children will spill and drop their food if they don't eat well, which will stain the desktop, floor, face, clothes, etc., so many parents do everything for their children to eat. The children become a "machine" for eating, and the cycle of opening their mouths, chewing and swallowing is repeated mechanically, with no sense of participation and fun at all.
I put my own bread pieces and pour my own milk
When I was inspecting my work in a kindergarten in Xiamen, a child in a small class was less than 3 years old. Every day, the children in this class arranged two students on duty before eating, and under the guidance of the teacher, they distributed table mats, napkins, dregs plates, etc. to each child. Then the children in the class lined up under the guidance of the teacher, took their own spoons and served meals. Every child was on his own before and after eating. 3. Eat regularly.
Like schools, families should make a daily meal schedule, respect this meal schedule and eat on time, so that children can naturally develop regular eating habits.
For example, if breakfast is at 8 o'clock, you must finish breakfast around 8 o'clock, and never eat at 11 o'clock, lunch at 12 o'clock and dinner at 5-6 o'clock. This way, you can have time and process to digest the food, so that you can feel hungry and have a need, and children will eat very well. 4. Diversification of cooking and meals.
Use different cooking methods to make meals with different tastes. Buy different ingredients for three meals a day and prepare different nutrition recipes, so that children feel that every meal is a kind of enjoyment, and they are always looking forward to eating these foods early.
For example, eggs can be eaten by boiled eggs, steamed egg soup, fried eggs and scrambled eggs. Different methods and shapes can make children feel the delicious food, stimulate and satisfy their taste buds.
The above methods are all accumulated in our daily work, which have solved the confusion of many parents and helped many children who don't like eating to overcome this problem. The children have a delicious meal, the parents laugh, and the children have grown taller. We are very pleased.
