How to train children not to be picky about food?
Many young parents have a headache for their children to be picky about food. Children who have worked so hard to make sweet and delicious delicacies are just not interested. The nutritious stoves and fragrant teas that they finally served are always ignored by the children, and every meal has become an insurmountable hurdle. These children don't like eating, but they like eating snacks. Nowadays, many snacks have added preservatives, pigments and so on. Eating too much is not good for children's growth and development, and some children are precocious because of eating too much snacks. Precocious puberty leads to the slow growth and development of children, which also has a negative impact on the development of the brain. My children are not picky about food, and they eat whatever they have at home. This is mainly because I have grasped the changes in children's diet during the transition period. As we know, when children are young, they are all breast-fed, some are not breast-fed, and milk is generally used instead. When the child was more than four months old, I read an article in a magazine introducing how to feed the child during the transition period. The article says that the child's 4-6 months is the most critical period. At this time, children's food should gradually change from soft to hard, from thin to thick. If you miss this period, it will be difficult for children to develop good eating habits in the future, and some even don't like eating. After reading this article, I immediately realized that I couldn't let my children just breastfeed, and began to gradually feed some foods with moderate hardness such as noodles, rice noodles and minced meat. In a few months, my children will be able to eat normally like us. This transition period should be neither too early nor too late. If it is too early, the child's digestive function can't keep up, and it is difficult to digest after eating. Late children form habits and it is more difficult to change them. Some children don't like eating, and adults have to cajole or even beat and scold every meal to barely eat a few mouthfuls, that is, they are not sure about the dietary changes of children during the critical transition period of 4-6 months. Children love to eat, but don't be picky about food. Some parents like to ask their children what they like to eat, do whatever they like, or give them what to eat; There are also some parents who let their children pick vegetables casually, so that children always like to pick what they like, and they are too lazy to move chopsticks if they don't like it. In this way, I gradually developed the habit of being picky about food. In order to prevent children from being partial to food, and to make their nutrition balanced, I put some stir-fried dishes in their bowls in advance every time I eat, so that children have no choice. Over time, children eat whatever they fry at home, and they are rarely picky about food. Because the child is not picky about food, he is in good health and has never fainted. In the military training organized by the school, he was praised by the instructors and was also rated as one of the few "excellent students" in military training.
