One day, grandma wrapped pork and cabbage buns and sent them to Linlin for him to taste. I saw Linlin pick up a steamed stuffed bun, peel the skin from the middle to reveal the stuffing inside, and then choose pork to eat, without eating a bite of cabbage. Mother saw it and reminded him, "Linlin, why do you only eat meat instead of cabbage?" Eating more vegetables is not easy to get sick. "Say that finish, mother picked up a small spoon, ready to send cabbage into Linlin's mouth. Linlin shook his head: "No, I don't eat cabbage. It's not delicious "Mother continued to persuade him:" Be good and obedient, open your mouth and mother will feed you. " "No, no, bad mother." Say that finish, Lin Lin dropped the steamed stuffed bun and ran away quickly.
Grandma caught up with a steamed stuffed bun and said to Linlin, "Baby, come on, grandma will pick the meat for you." Mother shook her head helplessly and frowned and said to her grandmother, "Mom, don't spoil the forest. Eating some cabbage is easy to digest and absorb, and eating meat all the time will make him nutritionally unbalanced. " Now, he has developed a bad habit of being picky about food, and he will not change it in the future. "
Grandma disagreed: "A child can eat whatever he wants. When his father was a child, like him, he also loved meat, so that his body could grow strong. " Say that finish, grandma will continue to pick meat for Linlin. Mother can do nothing about it. Nowadays, being picky about food is a problem for many children. If not corrected in time, it will not only lead to insufficient nutrition intake, seriously affect his growth and development, but also make him develop a bad habit of willfulness and stubbornness. Some children are picky eaters, and no matter how their mother tries to persuade them, they feel a deep headache.
Why are children so disobedient? Not as good as when I was 1 years old. I'll eat whatever I'm given, pick up the bottle and drink endlessly. Indeed, when children are 1 year old, they are generally not so picky about what they eat and drink, and they eat whatever they give. However, as the child grows up, his taste develops and he has a certain sense of self. He knows better than his mother what suits his taste and what doesn't. When the food doesn't meet his taste, he will express his "protest" through his developing language and movements, hoping that his mother will make changes and comply with his requirements. In fact, this is a normal psychological performance during the child's growth. Mothers don't have to forcibly change their children, as long as they pay attention to avoiding the habit of picky eaters. Some parents often use forced feeding, in this case, children will think that eating is a terrible thing, which is bound to produce strong resistance.
So what needs to be emphasized here is that if you want your child not to be partial or picky about food, you must never use coercion. You must grasp the child's psychology, subtly induce, and gradually let the child develop good eating habits. The idea in most children's minds is: I will eat whatever I like and whatever is delicious. In this way, children will involuntarily eat more things they like, and those they don't like may not eat at all, but parents are eager to change this situation, so the war between parents and children will often continue during meals.
In fact, the root of the problem is that children pay attention to taste and parents pay attention to nutritional balance. From the other side's point of view, no one is wrong, so what's wrong? It is the way and method of parents' education.
So, how to correct the bad habit of children who are partial to food and picky eaters? First of all, parents should lead by example, change their bad eating habits, and set a good example for their children not to be partial to food or picky eaters. Secondly, eat regularly every day from childhood, encourage children to taste a variety of foods and avoid the habit of being picky eaters. Thirdly, if children don't like food, they can try to eat a little first and get used to it slowly, but don't force it. In addition, parents should reasonably arrange the time for their children to eat snacks, control the amount of snacks, and never use snacks or fast food to lure their children to eat. This can only be counterproductive, because once children know that there are snacks to eat instead of eating, it is not surprising that they are picky when eating.
Method 1: Improve your cooking skills, and the dishes you don't like are delicious.
Many children are picky eaters because some foods are unpalatable and difficult to swallow. In view of this situation, my mother should improve her cooking skills and change the same ingredients into different ways to make the food delicious. In this way, as long as the food is delicious, children will eat it with relish, and there will be much less wars between mother and son about partial eclipse and picky eaters.
Yue Yue is a 3-year-old child with a sharp mouth. He doesn't eat salty food, spicy food or anything with a special taste. However, my mother is very clever. She always tries to change the way of food so that Yue Yue can eat delicious and nutritious meals every day.
Yue Yue always refuses to eat fish because it is too fishy. My mother searched some information on the Internet and learned that adding lemon or ginger slices can remove the fishy smell. Now Yue Yue also likes to eat fish. For a while, Yue Yue didn't eat a bite of eggs, so her mother broke up the raw eggs and mixed them with flour to make egg noodles or fried them into omelets. Yue Yue ate them energetically. Because carrots have a special taste and Yue Yue doesn't like them, her mother chopped them up, mixed them with meat and wrapped them into jiaozi, wonton or pearl balls, so that Yue Yue couldn't pick them out. Yue Yue doesn't like the taste of cucumber, so my mother put cucumber and corn in the juicer to make a delicious corn thick soup. Yue Yue can't stand the peppers in three fresh plants. Every time my mother cooks this dish, she will thoroughly clean the inside of the pepper, then soak it in water and fry it in a pot?
Through these methods, Yue Yue's food is always nutritious, and there is no dispute between mother and daughter because of picky eaters, which is entirely due to her mother's good upbringing.
The temperature, appearance and taste of food will directly affect children's appetite for it, and strong curiosity can often prompt children to taste new foods. Therefore, when mom cooks, she should change varieties and cooking methods, and pay attention to the collocation of dishes. In this way, the problem of children being picky about food will be solved.
Method 2: Tell children to eat food they don't like.
In daily life, parents should never talk about a food that is not delicious or has any special taste in front of their children, otherwise, children will subconsciously think that this food is not delicious, so they will not eat it. Therefore, parents should be persuasive and tell their children more about the nutrients contained in this kind of food, what benefits it has to the body, and so on, so that children can unconsciously eat food they don't like.
Like most children, Jun Jun is always picky about food and doesn't eat what he doesn't want. In this regard, my mother can always find a way to "fix" him.
Jun Jun doesn't like leeks. He frowns every time he sees leeks. Once, Jun Jun was playing with the children outside. When he came back, he told him that he was hungry, and his mother brought him fresh leek eggs. Jun Jun picked up the leek and wolfed down the rice. My mother didn't expect the most disgusting leek to be so delicious at the moment, so she thought about it and came to the conclusion that she was starving. Since then, every time I eat, my mother will first put the dishes that Jun Jun doesn't like on the table. At this time, Jun Jun was hungry and could eat any food, even things he didn't like would be delicious. After a long time, Jun Jun gradually adapted to the taste of various foods.
Grandpa hates mutton and never eats it. Every time I eat mutton, my grandfather will say, "Mutton stinks, and I want to vomit when I smell it." After listening to it several times, when eating mutton again, Jun Jun also clamored for mutton.
One day at noon, my mother prepared hot pot, including instant-boiled mutton. Jun Jun stopped eating after seeing it, and his mother asked him why. He said it tasted bad, not delicious. Mother told Jun Jun: "Mutton is delicious, and there is some beer in this hot pot, so the smell of mutton is sucked away by beer." No matter what my mother says, Jun Jun just won't eat.
Since then, whenever I eat mutton, my mother will praise me while eating: "Wow, this mutton is so delicious that we all like it." Then, mother let Jun Jun taste it again. After several times, Jun Jun no longer rejected mutton and could eat some.
In addition, mothers must also be careful not to inadvertently indulge their children's picky eaters, and never ask their children before each meal: "Do you like this?" "What do you like to eat?" These questions can easily give children a chance to be picky about food. When the child doesn't eat, the mother should not worry that he is hungry, and immediately prepare other food for him to avoid the child's picky eaters.
Method 3: add interest to eating and make eating an interesting thing.
In order to attract children's interest, parents can decorate food, for example, add vegetables and tomato sauce to fried rice to make the color change slightly; Make the ingredients into beautiful and lovely shapes that can be eaten by hand. As long as parents pay more attention, they can give their children novel and interesting feelings, so that they will not be picky eaters.
Children aged 2~3 like to imitate, and they want to try whatever their parents do. Therefore, the mother might as well let the child participate in the cooking process, take him to the market to buy food, and let him help carry it home. Let children wash their hands when eating fruit. Mom can ask him to help add seasoning, seasoning and so on when cooking. Children will be ecstatic to participate in the process of making their own food, so they prefer to eat those foods.
In addition, children like to be praised by others. Parents can praise children who are not picky eaters in front of children who are picky eaters, and urge children to actively follow suit because of envy. It should be noted that when setting an example, we must pay attention to children's emotions and avoid jealousy. For example, Xiao Ming doesn't like lettuce, while his cousin Xiao Fang likes lettuce. Parents can say, "Your sister Xiao Fang is really a good child. She loves lettuce and is healthy and smart. I believe that I will like lettuce as much as my sister. " This statement not only sets an example for Xiao Ming to follow, but also won't hurt his psychology.
