How to make children eat happily

True health is not only physical health, but also mental health, which is the dialectical unity of the two. For a person, only the physical, psychological and social adaptability are in a perfect state, can it be regarded as real health.

In real life, many parents can say that their children's diet, nutrition and cleanliness have reached the hygiene requirements, but they don't care much about their children's emotional and psychological state. When we adults invite colleagues to dinner, talk about business, resolve frictions, mediate contradictions and need to relax, we should also find some beautiful environments to make ourselves feel comfortable, relaxed and happy. Adults are still like this, and children also need a happy, cheerful and full of laughter. Therefore, parents should pay attention to their children's emotional state of eating during the day to ensure that their children eat in a pleasant and beautiful atmosphere. This plays an irreplaceable role in children's mental health. Therefore, the author believes that to ensure children's mental health at the dinner table, we should pay attention to the following points:

1. Avoid bringing your emotions to the dinner table.

With the development of society, the accelerated pace of work and life, and the fierce competition brought by employment opportunities, many people have a "vigilant" mentality, and no one wants to be eliminated by society. The tense pace of life, high work pressure and complicated interpersonal relationships make it difficult for most people to be calm. But parents should pay attention to their psychological state no matter how nervous and anxious they are. Children are not "punching bags" or objects to vent, especially at the dinner table. If children eat in an unpleasant and discordant psychological mood for a long time, it will not only seriously affect their mental health, but also affect their healthy development.

The early stage of children's growth belongs to the period of physical and mental development. Once his normal emotional state is affected, the child loses the desire to eat. They would rather lie that they are not hungry or don't want to eat than be told by their parents while eating. In fact, children are very tired of inappropriate lessons from their parents. Over time, parents have created a situation in which children don't want to eat, don't want to eat, and don't like being close to their parents.

2. Avoid children eating emotionally.

I appreciate the happy education of Herbert Spencer, a famous thinker and educator. "To know how to educate children, we must first know under what conditions children learn most effectively." Spencer believes that family can bring happiness to children. He said: "It is the most sacred time for family reunion." When little Spencer was admitted to Cambridge University with excellent results, he asked little Spencer, "What is the best part of your life?" Little Spencer replied, "it's time for us to get together at the dinner table every night, pray together and chat together." . "This shows what a harmonious and happy meal time means to children.

If the child has just engaged in strenuous exercise, his heart will definitely speed up and he will be too excited. If children are allowed to eat immediately, it will affect their appetite more or less and it is difficult to enter a normal state. Therefore, parents must stop their children's exercise within 15-20 minutes before eating, restore their children's nervous and excited state of mind, and ensure that their children eat in a calm and amiable state. In addition, children sometimes feel unhappy and unhappy because of conflicts with their children. In this case, parents should also use keen insight to find out the reasons why their children are unhappy, actively guide them, and let their children get out of the unhappy state smoothly before eating, so that their emotions can be balanced and they can eat in a comfortable and happy state without any troubles. In this way, even if he only eats a steamed bun and drinks a small cup of boiled water, he will find it a rare delicacy and will never forget it. This is the charm of happiness.

3. Avoid turning the dining table into a "chat room" between couples.

"Eat whatever you want, don't bother us." "What adults say affects you." "What we say is our own, you can eat it yourself." "Have you finished eating? Then do your homework "... parents often regard the meal time as a" chat room ",where they can talk about things at work, what problems they have encountered at work, what they have encountered, and what happened to their colleagues at home. They only care about each other and don't care about a family member who needs to talk and care. In fact, the child's heart is hoping that his parents can talk to him, chat and chat. In particular, they need to communicate with their parents to get answers to many "mysteries" that they can't solve, or to find solutions to some difficult problems. They cherish the time to eat with their parents. Therefore, family dining time should not be just a "chat room" for two people, but a "chat room" for three people.

4. Avoid turning the dining table into a TV theater

First of all, watching TV while eating can't guarantee children's physical and mental health while eating. TV programs are colorful and varied, sometimes making people nervous, sometimes exciting, and sometimes making people cry with the role. Eating in this emotional state of ups and downs can easily affect the atmosphere of the whole table. If the family has different attitudes towards a problem in the program, it is even more uncertain what will happen. So, let the dining table truly become a veritable dining table.

Secondly, it is difficult to ensure emotional communication during meal time. There is a saying in Spencer's happy education: "cherish the time when the whole family eats together." As an ordinary teacher who loves children and cares about their healthy physical and mental development, the author shouts loudly to the parents of the whole society that dining time is not only a time for the whole family to enjoy rich and delicious food together, but also a golden time for the whole family to chat and communicate with each other. I hope mom and dad can make the dining table become a mutual understanding, increase mutual trust, encourage each other, become the best example for each other, and cherish it with heart.
