How to interest a child to eat: parental tricks and advice from doctors and educators

How many problems sometimes arise due to the fact that the child does not eat well. Moms are upset, grandmothers are running after a child with a spoon, around the table are arranged almost theatrical performances, and the baby does not want to eat. What to do in this situation? How to interest a child to eat?

There are a number of rules that must be followed so that the child always eats well.

Rule one

You do not have to force the child to eat. The biggest mistake parents make when they say, "You have to eat it all."Better tell the child how useful this porridge is, what giants ate this porridge and became so strong and big.

If the child ate half, do not scold him, but praise him. If it seems to you that the child eats little, then it's a rule to write down everything that the child ate during the day. Soon you will realize that your baby is eating enough.

Rule two

Put the baby in a bowl half a serving. Better he ask for supplements. So you will quickly learn which dishes your child likes most.

Rule third

Let the child eat more often with the whole family. First, it is a good tradition to gather the whole family at the table, and secondly, seeing how much adults eat with an appetite, the kid will not want to lag behind them.

Rule Four

Let the child eat himself, do not feed him. For him it will be an additional incentive to eat everything.

Rule Fifth

Let the baby have a beautiful dish. A cup of bright colors, a plate with a pattern on the bottom. So it will be interesting to eat more quickly to see a flower or a hedgehog on the bottom of the plate.

Rule Six

If the kid always asks the same thing for breakfast, do not resist. So this is his favorite dish. Adults often have the same dish for breakfast, and we say it's a habit. Let the baby have such an inoffensive habit.

Rule Seven

Walk more with your child in the fresh air. Having walked up, he will eat with appetite all that you offer him, and even ask for supplements.

These simple rules will tell you how to awaken the child's appetite.
