What should children do if they are greedy?

Children's gluttony is caused by many reasons, mainly the following reasons:

(1) caused by doting. In many cases, children's "bulimia" is caused by parents' excessive doting. Parents often provide children with too much food, so that children can get the psychological satisfaction of being loved in the process of passive eating, thus creating greater demand for food. Parents often use food as a reward. Over time, children will be greedy.

(2) Insufficient demand. Children's physiological needs are manifold. When some needs can't be met, they will turn to food, leading to overeating.

(3) Safety compensation. If a child is scolded by his parents or bullied by his children, as long as the other party takes out a few pieces of candy, the child will stop crying immediately. The sweetness of candy makes the child temporarily forget the insecurity.

(4) Emotional compensation. Child psychologists let a group of only children with the same age and weight live with a group of non-only children to control the supply of non-staple food. Results within two days, the staple food of non-only children greatly exceeded that of only children. Later, the parents of the two groups of children were asked for special care, and the appetite gradually approached. This shows that non-only children can only use more food to supplement their emotional needs without care.

(5) frustration response. When children are frustrated in high-level demand, it is easy to return to the demand for food. Sometimes when children are frustrated, they often don't point the attack at the things that constitute frustration, but eat more food to vent their dissatisfaction.

To this end, children are greedy, and parents should find out the reasons and carry out targeted education.

As for how to educate greedy children, the German Rome believes that it is hoped that children will be ignored only by advice. Man-Rome suggested that the whole family have dinner together once a day, so as to make the children adopt a correct attitude towards diet again. When eating together, let the children talk about their own things and worries, and let them get rid of their inner pressure. Ann Beshilin, a pediatrician and psychologist in Basel, believes that "self-catering" at the dinner table is the key to helping children treat their diet reasonably. If a child can help with cooking and shopping and decide what to put on the table, he will change to healthy and low-calorie food. It is also important for parents to take care of their children and the whole family to participate in outdoor activities in their spare time. As Dr. Marquez said, exercise is closely related to proper diet.
