Today, when the material conditions are extremely rich, many parents will think that their children must be healthy, which stems from our very confident belief that as long as the children eat a lot of things, they will accumulate a lot of nutrients. In addition, some children do look white and fat, full of spirit.
But this mentality, as long as you are full, everything will be fine. It's not really what you want.
Liu Xiaotu has always been brought up by her grandmother, after entering the kindergarten, the teachers are quite fond of this beautiful little girl, but they are very sensible, and the learning is not a problem, and the children are also very good, but on a problem, eating always let the teacher a lot of heart. It was also from this time that Liu Xiaotu's mother learned that her daughter would not take the initiative to eat, and she had to be fed by the teacher before she was willing to eat.
But for him, I can't be angry with my grandmother who has worked hard to help bring the baby! However, to correct the child's problems, it also needs a very professional and scientific method, and at this point, Liu Xiaotu's mother is very wise. However, when it came to a professional institution, there was another result that surprised Liu Xiaotu's mother. The daughter is experiencing "hidden hunger".
What is this concept?
Clinically, this is how it is explained. Hunger is the feeling that the brain receives feedback from the stomach and intestines, but the first time he feels hunger, it stimulates our instincts and makes us immediately replenish our energy. Hidden hunger, on the other hand, is a hidden sense of hunger that makes our bodies not directly feel our need for food at all. But in the long run, the body will be in a state of malnutrition and mental development.
The reason for this is mostly due to the long-term emergence of a single nutrient intake state in our body. This, in turn, prevents our bodies from properly assessing our body's nutritional needs. At the same time, if there is a different amount and quality of food every day, it will also disturb our body's feelings about nutrient intake. It can be said that for children, the harm of hidden hunger is irreversible, she is quietly overdrawing the child's physical health, and the child and our parents are completely unaware.
So parents should not think that if we give our children three meals a day, the children will not be hungry to the body, which is not the case. If you are careful enough, you must learn to observe the following characteristics of the child, and when the child has the following aspects of the performance, it is likely that our children have begun to have hidden hunger.
First, the child's attention is difficult to concentrate
Some children's attention when they are young, obviously very good, whether it is playing, reading, writing in this regard do not need parents to worry, but slowly, parents find that the child's attention has a problem.
But I find that this aspect of the child is very different from the past, and the first thing to ask yourself is whether the child is doing things before doing things? You have a habit of intermittently disturbing behavior. If not, it is likely that the child has a nutritional deficiency. For example, when zinc is lacking, children will have difficulty concentrating.
Second, children do not like to eat
If the child has been eating well, but suddenly he has become not fond of eating, and some children's exercise is very large, but still do not love to eat, it is mostly the child's lack of zinc, it may also be that the child has appeared hidden hunger situation, as a parent, must be timely understanding, timely help children supplement the lack of vitamins, at the same time, guide the child to scientific and positive diet.
On the road to parenting, we are all novices, how to take better care of children, you can pay attention to me, and discuss with me those things on the road to parenting.
