Forget about the daily struggles for your child to eat well! Follow these tips.
All parents want our children to eat well, but the reality is very different and as they grow up the little ones can become fussy or it is not easy for them to accept new foods. We give you a guide of practical tips to make your child eat better:
Don’t force it to end everything
Let him eat what his body asks and all the nutrients will be used to the maximum. There are days when they eat more and others less, but they are not at risk for that.
The 15 times rules
A study showed that when kids say they don’t like a dish, they end up accepting it after 15 tries. Don’t give up so soon!
Let him or her choose
Include it in the choice and preparation of food as much as possible. And don’t forget to include everything.
Eat together
Children imitate everything and if they see that you do not eat something, but he must eat it, they will begin to see as negative what you do not accept and force him to eat. Plus, the family environment gives them more confidence to try new foods.
Remove distractions from the table
Prevent your children from eating with cell phones, tablets, toys. Make mealtime the best time for family discussions.
Know what you should really eat
Many moms fall into the mistake of feeding their children evenly, even if they are not the same age, be aware that this depends on how old your children are. And if you only have one child, he thinks he can’t eat a lot, his stomach is very small compared to yours.
Talk to them about healthy food
They must know everything that helps them and above all, that they also know the consequences of eating badly or eating junk food.
