Changing habits of eating in children

How to keep a drive in bridle. Sometimes a child has periods when he arranges a binge and lays on his favorite treat, not wanting to take anything else. One mother told how this problem is solved by her: "When we give her some product or some kind of drink, the consumption of which we would like to reduce, we often tell her that this is the last:" It's all over, there's no more left! "Then she does not beg for more and more. "But if the food on which the child is feeding, nutritious( like sandwiches with peanut butter), there is no reason to refuse him in it.

Food installations. These food plants were driving us crazy until we realized how to deal with them. Sometimes between the ages of two and three years the child has a strong idea of ​​how to serve meals. If he's gotten himself into the head that peanut butter should be on top of the jelly, and you put the jelly over peanut butter, be ready for an unrestrained protest. Not

should draw from this conclusion that your child is stubborn, that he is manipulating you or trying to take everything under his control. It's just one of the periods of development. The brain of a growing child goes through periods when the child has his own ideas about the order of things. Peanut butter should be on top of the jelly;another option is unacceptable. Smile and spread as instructed. To endure such vagaries are still flowers. Wait, when you in the future will begin to walk together in shops for clothes.

How to have dinner with a child

The saying" Children should be seen, but not heard ", may have been invented by one restaurant owner. Here's how to make dinner outside the home with a child of one or two years of enjoyable or at least tolerable.

If possible, feed the child before leaving the house. Or order a quick baby dish as soon as you arrive at the restaurant. A hungry child is less manageable.

If you planned to spend an evening at a restaurant, and the nurse suddenly warned that she could not come, you can arrange an evening for three. Order dinner at a time when the child will most likely be tired. As long as you get to the restaurant by car, the child can fall asleep. Take the sleeping child right in the car seat for children and gently place the child seat under your table.

does not want to eat vegetables. "However, the child continues to grow remarkably well. Vegetables usually require more creative marketing than other dishes. Here are the main tricks:

• Cook the vegetables so that they can be kept in your hand and dipped in your favorite sauce.

• Mask the vegetables under your favorite sauce. The peanut butter sauce actually works quite well with cauliflower.

• Play in decorations: garnish vegetables with your child's favorite products, for example, decorate tomatoes with homemade cheese.

If your child's sleep time and your dinner time do not match, here are a few strategies. Grab your favorite delicacies of your child, which you can eat while holding. If you put the child in a highchild, grab soft, no-noise toys and plastic cutlery. We came to the conclusion that wearing a baby in a sling bag is the easiest way to get a young restaurant visitor to keep quiet and hold. Look for restaurants that welcome children warmly. Give up the restaurant, in which there are no highchairs for children.

Last advice: choose a table closer to the edge so that the child does not become the center of attention that will cause in it the desire to entertain the public.

• Hide vegetables in your child's favorite foods, such as rice, cottage cheese or avocado sauce.

• Cook the vegetables for a couple. Then they will retain more taste.

• Make designer vegetables - try to make colorful faces with eyes from slices of olives, tomato ears, a nose from boiled carrots and so on.

• Put on your most joyful face when eating vegetables. Nutritional preferences are contagious. Let your child see how you and the rest of the family are enjoying the vegetables.

• Mask vegetables in soups and sauces. Having resorted to a juicer, grater, blender or strainer, you can help unloved vegetables slip more imperceptibly. Pizza fritters are a great success in our house, as well as carrot cakes.

• If you really think that family life is impossible without vegetables, let your child help you to plant a garden. Give your child the opportunity to dig or collect ripe vegetables, wash them and help you cook them. Vegetables from the front garden of a small farmer have at least some chance of winning.

Give up pressure. Pressure only hampers feeding, but does not make it easier. Do not feed the child by force, as this

can for a long time instill in the child a negative attitude towards food and food intake.
