Keep a camera close at hand
One day, when I was busy writing a book, Marta called out from the kitchen: "Quick, take a picture, until I'm mad."Stefan pulled off the bottom.her shelf open box of cereal. And here he, covered from head to foot with cornflakes, floundering in the grief that he himself made, and eating it - the boy was just hungry!
Imagine delight! To coax into unfamiliar or least favorite foods, first eat a little yourself, using both how to handle both the verbal language and the body language to show your child how delicious it is. Or put food in front of the child and ask for a piece for yourself( the child can
with pleasure to stretch you a piece himself), then stretch out the old checked: "Mmm. .. taste-y-u-sno!"
Grass is always greeneron someone else's plate. Suppose you have a love for cauliflower, and it has become a torture for you this week: you tried to disguise it with sauce, dip it, give it another name, and the cauliflower is not eaten. Sit next to your child and put the cauliflower on your plate, once again playing the old song: "Mmm. .. tastes-at-usno."To your surprise, a child can take cabbage from your plate. If not, assign cauliflower tests at a later date. You can try to associate it with broccoli, which most children love, because in form it looks like a tree - you can have green trees and white trees.
No meal is like the other. Children from one year to two are contradictory in their desire for independence, especially at the table. One day a child may wish to feed himself, and in another day may require that you feed him. When you are not sure which way to choose, use two spoons: one for your child and one for yourself. Sit with your baby while she is eating. Sometimes she just wants you to make her a company while she eats, but at the same time she is allowed to eat herself.
Other days, she may want you to entertain her and use her spoon to feed her. Sometimes we play the game: "You take a piece of your spoon, and my mother gives you a piece of her spoon."Baby can add: "And I give my mother a piece."
