I think a mother's primary concern about feeding her child starts the moment she finds out she is pregnant and I'm afraid it will continue until the mother's last breath. Have you ever seen it around you? An 80-year-old aunt wonders if her 60-year-old son goes to bed hungry or full.
For this very reason, let's review the suggestions about what kind of parental attitudes we can develop in order to ensure that our children happily eat balanced meals that will ensure their physical development at the optimum level, or not to turn meals into a nightmare for them. .
Keep your feeding times regular. Let our meal times turn into periods of time when we gather around the same table as a family, talk about the developments of the day, laugh and ask how we are. Let's avoid condemning and scolding children, hurting their feelings, and not overreacting.
Let's avoid giving exaggerated reactions (like, 'I don't like broccoli at all!!!') when a dish we don't like comes to the table. Let's not forget that our child who constantly records us will also copy it. We may have the right to expect such behavior from him, even if we consume a small amount by forcing ourselves.
When he refuses to eat the food we want him to consume, let's not limit another request: 'If you don't eat this, we won't go to that picnic you want so much!' It is appropriate to punish in this way. Just as it is not appropriate, it is equally inappropriate to show another food as a reward: 'If you eat some leeks, I'll give you fries'... >
If she takes a big bite of some kind at the table, let's turn it into an opportunity and say a good word of praise.
A small and frequent feeding table can be created for a child who consumes very little at the beginning of the meal.
Children want to feel that their opinions are valued. they are That's why it's up to us to make him think that he eats what he wants by offering options. 'Would you like to eat spinach or leeks?'
If you think your child is eating too little, keep a food diary, but only for a week. Sometimes they can eat very little food in one day and make up for it in the following days.
If we can teach our children positive eating behaviors between the ages of 1-6, they can turn into adults who can eat adequate and balanced nutrition in the future.
