1, influenced by parents' eating habits.
1-3 years old is a critical period for the formation of eating habits, and children's eating behavior mainly imitates their parents. If parents have the habit of picky eaters and partial eclipse, children will naturally form the same bad habits. Sometimes parents inadvertently say that they don't like fat meat or spinach, and children won't be interested in these foods.
2. Children are very picky in taste.
If parents do not pay attention to cooking methods, color matching and shape diversification, or the diet is monotonous, it is easy for children to form the habit of picky eaters and partial eclipse. If some parents give their children "steamed eggs" every day and rarely change varieties and colors, children naturally don't like it.
I had an unpleasant experience.
If you have a stomachache or get sick after eating a certain food before, or if you are forced to eat a certain food under unpleasant circumstances, it will make children resist this food.
4. Use this to control parents.
Children's picky eaters or partial eclipses are not developed overnight. Parents must analyze the causes and carry out targeted prevention and correction.
Generally speaking, we should start from the following points:
1, cultivate children's good eating habits.
When adding complementary food to children, we should pay attention to: adding complementary food should be scientific, reasonable and comprehensive, so that children can eat each food regularly and quantitatively, form good habits and lay a good foundation for weaning. If children can eat regularly and quantitatively every day, they will develop normal eating habits over time. In this way, when eating, children will automatically secrete digestive juice, resulting in hunger, eating will feel sweet.
2, pay attention to cooking methods, pay attention to reasonable collocation.
When cooking for children, we should pay more attention to cooking skills and try our best to achieve color, fragrance, taste and shape to arouse children's appetite. For example, besides steaming eggs, we can also scramble eggs, fry poached eggs and make cakes. For children who don't eat fat and vegetables, parents can chop up the meat and vegetables and wrap them in jiaozi for their children to eat. This can gradually change children's habits of picky eaters and partial eclipse.
3, pay attention to develop a good habit of children not eating snacks.
If the child's snacks never leave his mouth, digestive juice is constantly secreted, and the gastrointestinal tract keeps crawling without rest. In the long run, digestive function will be disordered. When eating, digestive juice will be in short supply, and what you eat in your stomach can't be digested and absorbed well. Of course, children will lose their appetite. Because children have no appetite, they must not eat well, be picky, eat more if they like, and not eat if they don't like, which will gradually form the problem of picky eaters. Therefore, never let children get into the habit of eating snacks.
4, parents must set an example, not picky eaters, partial eclipse, set a good example for children.
Parents don't eat this or that, and children will do the same unconsciously.
5. Overcome impatience.
When children are picky about food and partial eclipse, parents should not be impatient, nor should they force their children to eat, let alone show anxiety in front of their children, or tell others about their bad habits and anxiety in front of their children, which will easily lead to bad hints and reinforcement for their children.
6. Create a good dining atmosphere, and don't scold or beat the children at the table.
Parents should not worry when their children are picky eaters, because it takes long-term and lasting efforts to correct their bad habits. Using negative methods such as coercion, punishment and cajoling can not only solve the problem, but also produce negative effects sometimes, so parents must be patient.
In addition, it should be noted that some children's picky eaters and partial eclipse are often caused by colds and fever, iron deficiency anemia or lack of iron, zinc and other elements in the body. Therefore, parents should first take their children to the hospital for examination, diagnosis and treatment to eliminate picky eaters and partial eclipse caused by diseases.
