Reason one: the influence of parents is easily overlooked. Faced with the baby's picky eaters, more parents will look for the reasons from the food itself and the baby's physiology, and ignore whether they show their preference and rejection of certain foods in front of the baby intentionally or unintentionally. The baby's eating habits are greatly influenced by family members. Parents seem to be inadvertently evaluating which dishes are delicious, which dishes are not delicious, what they like to eat, and what they don't like to eat, and the villain will hear it. Imagine that if you say that bitter gourd is bitter and pepper is spicy in front of your baby and make a refusal expression, your baby is likely to be subtly rejected. In addition, when you don't like to eat certain foods, there will naturally be fewer such foods on the table, and your baby will have less chance to try these foods, which indirectly leads to your baby's partial eclipse and picky eaters. Therefore, in order to cultivate the baby's good eating habits, parents should first set an example, change and adjust their eating habits, at least not show special eating preferences in front of the baby. Reason 2: The baby's self-awareness With the growth of age, the baby's self-awareness is gradually enhanced, and he begins to hope that he is more independent. One of the manifestations may be that what he eats is his own decision! Babies are passive from birth until they learn to eat independently, that is, they basically have no right to choose their own food. The only way is to spit out the food you don't like, but you still can't completely control your diet. When babies can eat by themselves, they begin to challenge their parents' authority and show their decision-making attitude by choosing food, which has nothing to do with what food they eat. Therefore, if the baby is partial to food under this psychological factor, when his parents force him to eat a certain food, he will be fiercely resisted by the baby. At this time, you must learn to judge whether he really doesn't like it or needs some independent space. Reason three: the baby's self-protection is picky about food, and sometimes it may come from self-protection. People often have a "strangeness" when they treat new things, and so do adults. Some babies may be curious because they are unfamiliar, and then hope to be able to crack and get the answer, so that they will take the initiative to accept fresh food. For those sensitive and cautious babies, strangeness will make them "afraid", and the result is of course rejection. Indeed, for most babies, they don't want to try new food because they don't know whether this new food is safe or not. Babies will only like familiar food, and they will only try it if it appears on the table repeatedly. Reason four: I had an unpleasant experience. Think back, did the baby have any unpleasant eating experiences, such as stomach pain, vomiting, bad taste, etc. After eating a certain kind of food, or being forced to eat under the reprimand of parents. For adults, there may also be such an experience. Unpleasant things suddenly happen, and the part of the human cerebral cortex that manages eating is suppressed, and people will suddenly lose their appetite. It is very important to keep a pleasant atmosphere when eating. Parents should guide their babies to try with the tone of appreciating food. For the first time, the baby may instinctively refuse to touch some foods with special tastes, such as celery, leek, bitter gourd and spinach. Parents can't give up, can't cajole endlessly, and can't force it, otherwise it will only make the baby resist the food. For the baby's performance, parents can try to ignore it for a period of time, eat it with relish, show it to the baby, and express their recognition of the taste of the food with words or expressions, then the baby may eat it more easily. Remember to give praise and encouragement in time when the baby makes progress. Reason 5: I want to play for a while, and there is another kind of picky baby who may be playful, have no time to chew slowly, and always wolf down at the table and choose easy-to-eat food. It's very troublesome to handle. Chew for a long time and the baby won't touch it. Afraid of delaying time, I will miss watching cartoons. Reason 6: Another factor of bad eating habits is that children are not allowed to develop good eating habits, such as drinking too much water or soup before meals, eating too many snacks between meals, feeding for a long time, watching TV while eating and so on.
