Hello everyone, I'm a tomato mom!
Some time ago, the kindergarten teacher We knew, Teacher Li, came to the class with a special child, a thin and small little boy named Junjun. Junjun's mother and the teacher met on the first day, and said to the teacher: "You need special care for our children, when he eats at home, he is fed by adults, and he will not eat." ”
Teacher Li found that Junjun's situation was much more serious than his mother said, and he not only refused to take the initiative to eat, but also lost his temper as soon as it was time to eat. Even if the teacher fed him and fed the food into his mouth, he swallowed slowly, as if what he ate was not delicious rice, but bitter Chinese medicine. Sometimes, as soon as he twisted his face, he spit out the rice, which is the real "difficult household" for eating, for which Teacher Li constantly complained to me.
Why do many children have difficulty eating?
Li Zexuan, associate professor of the Institute of Mental Health of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, once said: If the child does not eat well, we feed him hard, once or twice there may be no problem, but if you develop long-term habits, the child will have a strong resistance to eating, disgust, is not conducive to the child's physical and mental health growth.
Children do not eat well, the more they feed, the thinner they will be, if parents still have the idea of "not feeding, children are not full", they will fall into a vicious circle. So in the face of children who do not like to eat, how should we solve it?
As a kindergarten teacher, there are still many wonderful ideas for children, and they can help these children who have difficulty eating to solve these problems. Like Junjun went to kindergarten for a while, with the efforts of Teacher Li, the little boy's state of eating was much better, and people were obviously much fatter.
Teacher Li uses the following methods to guide children to eat well, and it is recommended that parents in need collect it.
1. Let food appear at the moment when the child needs it most.
Old people often say that children do not eat well, that is not hungry, backwards for decades, children can see the white steamed buns can shine with both eyes.
Today's children do not eat well, there are two reasons, one is that the child's activity is too small. Most of the time they sit on the couch, watching TV, playing with tablets, watching mobile phones, the child has too little physical activity, less energy consumption, and a little food is full.
Therefore, if you want your child to eat well, the first point is to let your child exercise more. We should let our children go out of the house more, running, playing ball, cycling are all good sports. Children with a large amount of activity will of course be hungry quickly.
The child is hungry, we do not give the child food right away. Snacks are a must-have for every family. When the child is hungry, he eats snacks, and when it is time to eat, he is not hungry. Therefore, parents buy less snacks, especially some junk food, eating no nutrition, will have an impact on physical health.
Let food appear when your child needs it. Three meals a day is a time to replenish energy, when the meal is ready, the child shouts "I am hungry", this is the best dietary rule.
Eating and sleeping are our most basic physiological needs, don't look at it too hard.
2, let the child eat fragrant, parents must first "eat fragrantly".
If you've been to kindergarten, you'll find that the kids get together and eat a lot more than they did at home. Why? Is the kindergarten meal better than at home?
No, children eat fragrantly in kindergarten, that's because some children are attracted to see others eating well. If you eat alone, you may be full after eating a bowl. If you have two people around to eat with you, you may have to eat more than half a bowl of rice. Therefore, parents do not need to feed their children, but should guide them to eat more.
When the meal is served, we don't have to beg the child to taste it, but we pick it up ourselves and eat it while eating it. When mothers eat, they should show the expression and action of enjoying the food, just like we watch the food broadcast and food advertisement, while saying in a praise tone: "It is so delicious!" ”
I believe that there is such a sense of picture, children do not need to be fed by their parents, they will have the desire to taste food.
3, the child concentrates on eating, eat more.
There are many parents who will have the habit of watching TV when eating, which is very bad for children. While eating, watching TV will affect his appetite and will also affect digestion and absorption.
Let the child's table, only fragrant meals, mobile phones, toys, TVs, must wait until after eating to arrange. Concentrating on eating will make the meal more fragrant, the child chew more fully, and the nutrient absorption will be better.
4, children's meals, try to be soft and rotten, full of color and flavor.
Children's chewing ability is not as good as adults, when we prepare meals for children, in addition to nutritional collocation, we should also pay attention to cooking food as soft as possible. Children chew easily and will be willing to eat more.
There is also that children are visual animals, they eat meals, try to do a good job of color matching, if the food looks brightly colored, pleasing to the eye, the child's interest in eating will be stronger.
For example, green spinach dumplings, dragon fruit and noodles can attract children's attention. Meals are as varied and colorful as possible, and the children's meals are more fragrant.
The above 4 small tricks are the small tricks used by Teacher Li in kindergartens, specifically to deal with children with difficulty in eating, which is really tried and tested. Parents hurry to stop feeding their children, not only tired themselves, but also harmful to their children.
Eating is a major event for every family, guiding children to develop good eating habits, children grow up healthily, and the efforts of mothers are worth it.
