How to guide children to be picky eaters?

There are many reasons why children are picky eaters and partial eclipse:

1, family eating habits are the first reason for children's bad eating habits: the taste of family meals is different from that of kindergartens, and some children are used to the taste of family meals, so the taste of kindergarten meals will not be different from their own tastes, and there will be the illusion of "picky eaters";

2. Bad parenting is an important reason for children to develop bad habits: children are generally dependent on the food they like to eat. Once they like to eat, they don't want to taste other foods that they haven't eaten. In the process of infant diet, parents often worry about children's lack of food and nutrition, and even have wrong nutritional concepts-let children eat more meat, eat more foods they like, or give up guidance on foods that children don't like, thus causing children to be "picky eaters."

3. Parents' "role models" have a negative effect on children and affect their eating habits. In many families, parents will do more for their children whatever they like to eat, and children always eat those foods, which leads to their "picky eaters".

So how can we improve the present situation and let children develop good eating habits? We can take various measures from now on to let children gradually develop good eating habits.

First, small remedies to improve children's appetite

1, story method

Stories can be used to arouse children's appetite before eating.

For example, many children in my class don't like kelp. When they meet "bone seaweed soup", they eat slowly. The spoon stirred in the kelp, clamoring not to eat kelp. Faced with this problem, on the one hand, I told them the story of "pig's thick neck and kelp" and let them know that kelp has many benefits for people. On the other hand, I deliberately smelled it and said, Wow, it smells good! And show intoxicated and eager to eat, tell them that the teacher likes kelp best. I don't know which child likes kelp as much as the teacher, so set an example for them in time. The children's spirits suddenly rose and they eagerly wolfed down.

2, the game method

Teachers can use the tone of the game to have dinner activities, and treat dinner as a small game for everyone to participate in. Increase children's appetite for food.

For example, one day the kindergarten made carrots that children didn't like to eat, so I had an idea to play the role of mother rabbit, and every child became a rabbit. Mother rabbit said, "Today, we collected such delicious carrots together. These carrots are very nutritious. Come and share it with the bunnies! " "In this way, children who don't like to eat will be interested and want to taste how delicious the carrots we picked together are.

3. Seat adjustment method

In the past, for the convenience of teachers' management, I concentrated children who were slow to eat because of partial eclipse on one or two tables, and the effect was not very satisfactory. Later, I changed my method and arranged them around children who ate fast and delicious. In this way, they saw their good friends eating so well, being infected and encouraged, and gradually eating fast and fragrant.

Second, small recipes to correct bad eating habits

1, example method

There are children who eat well in the class, and teachers can use their own examples to educate and guide children who eat badly. When the children are eating, the teacher can look for a model baby while patrolling the rice. For example, today I saw that Yang Yang ate the best food, and there was nothing left. I really like Yang Yang, a clever boy! Everyone should learn from him and be a healthy baby.

2. Pay attention to the method of eating order

When children eat, I often find that some children will choose their favorite food first, and then leave the food they don't like on the grounds of "full". For this phenomenon, I adopted the "sequential food addition method". According to children's different preferences, I will first leave a kind of food that children particularly like to eat, let him finish what he doesn't like, and tell him that the teacher will give you chicken wings after eating the dishes on the plate. In this way, children's bad eating habits will be greatly improved, and the phenomenon of leftovers will be greatly reduced.

3. Incremental addition method

Some children don't eat certain foods since childhood, so it is impossible and unrealistic for them to change at once. I use the method of "gradually increasing the amount" for such children. For example, Jia Jia and Dede in my class, I will give her a little less food at first, and then gradually increase it, so that she can get used to it and like it slowly. Like this, a little more, a little more, let the children like what they don't like and like this food.

4. Evaluation and incentive methods

Teachers should pay attention to even a little progress of children who are partial to leftovers, and they will be very happy if they can give encouragement. In this way, mobilizing children's enthusiasm for eating will prompt them to correct their bad habits of partial eclipse and leftovers.
