Children are picky eaters and have unbalanced nutrition. What should parents do?

It is a common phenomenon that children are picky eaters. Some of our parents are very anxious, that is, we adults like delicious food in the process of eating. Of course, children are also like this, but compared with us, children's preferences are more direct. If they like it, they like it If they don't like it, they don't like it.

For children who are picky eaters, we need to know these points:

1. We shouldn't blame or force children.

Don't blame the children. Children's picky eaters will not become picky eaters because of your accusations and nagging.

On the contrary, when children are accused of eating, they feel that eating is an unhappy thing.

To a great extent, the root of children's dislike of eating often comes from parents' coercion. What children choose is not "food", but your "attitude".

Therefore, in the face of children's picky eaters, don't blindly blame and force children. We need more patience and try to get the children to eat. Moreover, children are hungry and will naturally eat when they are hungry.

2. Children's picky eaters can be nutritionally balanced.

Picky food is not equal to partial eclipse. Children who are partial to food don't like this food, and children who are picky eaters don't like this food at all.

For example, if children don't like carrots, they can use broccoli and spinach instead. Because the most important nutrient in carrots is carotene, there are also many in broccoli and spinach.

Therefore, children who are picky eaters will not be malnourished if their food is properly matched.

Then the question is, how do we pry open the closed mouth?

Although picky eaters can be nutritionally balanced, children should be allowed to eat well. And picky eaters are not incurable. As long as you stick to the following points, you can easily get rid of your child's picky eaters.

1. Make sure you feel hungry before meals.

Control snacks. Be sure to control children's snacks, make sure not to eat snacks or fruits at least 1 hour before meals, and don't let snacks at home be everywhere.

Cultivate good habits

Try not to watch TV when children eat, which will make them feel that eating is not very important and they can do other things while eating. If it's not important, there's no need to eat it.

3. Diversification of food types

Try to be diversified. Many children are afraid to touch new things when they are 2-5 years old, and so is food. Therefore, children are always willing to eat previously familiar food and refuse to try new food.

Establish a sense of dining ceremony, let children know that three meals a day must be taken seriously, and we must do everything possible. Let children understand that eating is necessary and important.
