How to correct children's bad eating habits

Children's bad eating habits include: partial eclipse, anorexia, eating snacks, and not paying attention to food hygiene. Once children develop bad eating habits, it is very harmful. Because partial eclipse and anorexia easily lead to imbalance in nutrient intake, resulting in a certain nutritional deficiency, eating snacks will affect normal meals, not only increase the burden on the stomach, cause indigestion, or cause obesity. Not paying attention to food hygiene will lead to various infectious diseases. Therefore, parents must pay attention to preventing and correcting their children's bad eating habits. First, the prevention of partial eclipse Prevention of partial eclipse should start after the baby is weaned. Parents should pay attention to the following matters: (1) Only one new food is given for each meal. At first, the quantity was less. When children like to eat, they should increase it appropriately to prevent them from getting tired of eating at one meal. (2) Use less mixed food, because the baby prefers simple taste. (3) The appearance and color of food should be beautiful, in line with the age characteristics of infants. (4) Don't smell too strong, and use less onions; Ginger, garlic, green pepper, etc. Babies like light food. (5) the hardness should be appropriate. Infants like to eat crispy food, but not too hard, because the teeth are not well developed; Babies don't like sticky food very much. (6) The temperature should be appropriate. Overheating will make children refuse to eat, and too cold food will cause indigestion. (7) Don't emphasize eating more or stipulate how much to eat. (8) Parents seldom talk about whether a certain food is delicious in front of their children, so as to form an attitude of liking all the foods that should be eaten. (9) Parents should not lead by example and be partial to food. In addition, for weaned children, in order to prevent partial eclipse, it is necessary to do the following: (1) The environment has a great influence on children's eating, and the surrounding atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant when eating, so eating is a very pleasant thing. The color, fragrance and taste of rice, beautiful tablecloth, beautiful background and beautiful music will all increase children's pleasure in the food they eat. The opposite is not the case. (2) When children eat too little food and can't reach the calories, parents can't force their children with the tone of command, which will make some wayward children simply not eat. We might as well do the opposite, cook less and tell our children not to eat more. This restriction is likely to arouse his desire to eat this kind of food. (3) Children don't like some meals, so parents must avoid providing them to him when he is not very hungry. On the contrary, when he is hungry, he will find this food sweeter and more delicious than before. As the saying goes, "I am full of hunger", which is the truth. (4) When children are determined not to eat certain foods, they can adopt the method of "changing their faces". For example, if a child doesn't eat fried tofu, we can get him used to eating dried tofu, shredded tofu and frozen tofu. Then go too far to stew tofu and mix tofu, and finally eat fried tofu directly. (5) For foods that children don't like, we should pay special attention to introducing their nutritional value, growth or production process, and even let children participate in the production process, which will stimulate their appetite. (6) Pay attention to the diversification of diet. Always eating a certain kind of food is easy to cause disgust, so it is necessary to match coarse and fine grain, vegetarian, raw and cooked, cold and hot food. In addition, the cooking or cooking methods of the same food should also be diversified. For example, instead of always eating steamed bread, you can make pancakes, noodles, jiaozi, flower rolls, steamed buns, steamed cakes and fried noodles in turn. This ocean always gives children a sense of freshness, thus increasing their appetite. (7) When children occasionally show the sweetness of food they didn't like in the past, parents should praise them immediately to achieve the purpose of strengthening. Second, the prevention and correction of the habit of eating snacks (1) First of all, make dinner well, make children feel sweet and delicious, and attract him to eat more. Under normal circumstances, as long as children have enough food, they will dilute their desire to eat snacks. (2) Because the child's stomach is small and lively, food is excreted faster. So in the morning 10, at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, add two small meals and eat some fruits or snacks, not too much. Otherwise, it will affect the appetite for eating. Adding snacks regularly in this way will reduce the time to eat snacks. (3) For older children, explain the harm of eating snacks. If it is difficult to control the desire to eat snacks for a while, you can take the form of distracting your child to see flowers and plants, animals, listen to stories, solve riddles on the lanterns or engage in other activities. Third, the correction of unhealthy eating habits. Scratching, groping, dirty hands, mouth, face and clothes when eating, often leaving the bottom of the bowl, not washing hands before and after meals, often drinking raw water, eating fruits without washing, or peeling, eating in the street, etc. , are unhealthy eating habits. How to correct it? (1) First of all, explain the harm of unhealthy eating habits in simple terms. Because some unsanitary behaviors are caused by children's ignorance. On the basis of explaining the truth, taking corrective measures acceptable to children will greatly enhance their consciousness of overcoming bad habits. (2) Observe and analyze the specific reasons of children's unhealthy eating habits and prescribe the right medicine. For example, is it because children are not skilled in eating that they scatter rice everywhere and grab it with their hands? Or do you care and do it on purpose? If it is the former, it is necessary to help children practice holding bowls, using spoons or using chopsticks. Once they are skilled, they will get better. If it belongs to the latter, it is necessary to put forward clear requirements, encourage children to eat as required, and strengthen and gradually improve as soon as there is improvement. (3) Work out specific food hygiene rules with children and explain the significance of these rules to them. You can even put these rules on the wall in the form of slogans. For example, do not sprinkle rice, wash your hands before meals, wipe your mouth after meals, and wash fruits. In this way, children can always be reminded to abide by health rules. Once children are found to consciously abide by health rules, they will be strengthened in time until they form a habit. (4) create convenient conditions for children to abide by health rules. If the faucet is too high or the washbasin is not easy to put, the child may try to save trouble and not wash it. Convenient sanitary facilities are very important for children to develop hygienic habits. (5) Parents must set an example. It is very difficult to correct the unhealthy habits of children if the adults around them can't consciously abide by the hygiene rules. (6) Parents and kindergarten teachers should adhere to the consistent requirements for their children. If kindergarten requirements are strict, parents' requirements will increase the difficulty of correction.
