Eating while playing affects children's gastrointestinal digestion. When eating, because the stomach secretes gastric acid, the blood will all be concentrated to promote the gastrointestinal work, but when playing, the brain's attention is on "playing". When the brain starts to work, the brain needs blood supply, and gastric peristalsis will be weakened; Coupled with the child's attention is not on eating, it is easy for parents to feed more. Therefore, eating while playing can easily lead to gastrointestinal indigestion. While playing and eating, children do two things at the same time, which virtually helps children develop the habit of doing two things at once. Therefore, children are easily distracted in their daily lives.

How to help children correct their eating and playing habits? First, set meal time for the whole family, for example, the time for each meal should not exceed half an hour. Then every time it's time, I start to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, tell the children that it's time to eat, and help them establish the concept that there is a time limit for eating.

Second, make dining regulations. It is forbidden to play games on the table and watch mobile phones. Adults should set an example, so it is wrong to educate children to eat and play at the same time. Third, arrange the snack time reasonably. Many children start to play as soon as they eat, because there is no reasonable time to arrange snacks, which leads to children's lack of hunger and appetite when they see food. It is unrealistic for children to give up snacks completely. It is better to help children decide when to eat snacks. In general, snacks should be eaten 2 hours before meals, and it is best not to eat too many snacks before meals 1 hour, which will affect normal meals.
