& gt& gt How can children have a normal appetite? This is actually very simple, just four words: let nature take its course.

& gt& gt If the child has anorexia symptoms, Mr. Spock gave some good specific instructions in this regard, which are summarized as follows.

& gt& gt First, parents change their attitudes. On the issue of children's eating, be calm, don't praise if you eat too much, and don't criticize if you eat too little. This issue has been peaceful and happy, so that children no longer feel pressure because of eating problems.

& gt& gt Second, if the child has developed anorexia, don't expect him to recover in half a month and twenty days. Parents should be patient. This patience does not come from your temporary calmness to suppress anxiety, but from your complete calmness after correct understanding.

& gt& gt Third, don't draw a lever between all kinds of food. You can't say that you eat more if you have nutrition, and eat less if you don't have nutrition. Whether there is nutrition or not depends on the adjustment of parents when cooking. Children should be allowed to choose the food on the table. Food that children don't like can't be threatened by conditions. For example, don't say to a child who likes meat but doesn't like vegetables, "You won't eat meat if you don't eat vegetables." This will only make him hate eating vegetables more. You might as well say on the other hand, "You must eat meat before eating food", which may stimulate his interest in food.

& gt& gt Fourth, let the children eat by themselves, not feed them. Children can eat by themselves from about one and a half years old. Parents should not spend hard time on feeding their children, but only on cleaning up the "mess" left by their children.

& gt& gt Fifth, on the issue of eating, don't talk about conditions with children. For example, some parents always like to say that if you eat well, I will buy you toys or take you out to play, which will have a negative impact on your child's eating and teach him to blackmail his parents with unreasonable demands.

& gt& gt So, when a child shows that he doesn't like to eat anything, you should never say anything, let alone teach him a lesson, and don't rush to find a substitute. Just pretend that you don't know what to let him eat, take something casually, and even find an opportunity to deliberately hint in words that he likes it. For example, in front of children who don't like to drink milk, say to others, "My son loves to eat everything and is not picky about food. He can drink a large glass of milk in one breath."

& gt& gt Finally, parents are reminded that children should eat as little snacks as possible. Children eat very little, and they are often full when they eat snacks. At the dinner table, I naturally lost my appetite.

& gt& gt There is also whether the family atmosphere is relaxed and whether the relationship between parents is harmonious, which also affects the appetite of children. In addition, children are jealous of their brothers and sisters or other children around them, feel unfairly treated or influenced by other negative emotions, and also have anorexia symptoms. Parents should pay more attention to these aspects.
