During this time, the daughter always has no appetite for eating, no matter what meal is cooked, she put down the dishes after eating two bites, and the wife is always worried that the daughter will not be full, malnourished, and then grow tall.
Grandma also chanted: The meals carefully prepared at home are only eaten twice; the big pot rice in the kindergarten, I am afraid it is more difficult to swallow Oh, don't you go hungry every day?
Reminded by his grandmother, Wen Wen's father sent a message to the teacher to inquire about his daughter's meal in the kindergarten. The life teacher said that her daughter was very well-behaved and had a good appetite in kindergarten, and she had to eat two large bowls at each meal.
Looking at the message sent by the life teacher, Wen Wen's father half-believed and half-doubted, did the teacher deliberately say this in order to please the parents? He tentatively asked the teacher to take a video of the child eating the next day.
The next day, looking at the video sent by the teacher, Wen Wen's father couldn't believe his eyes, full of a plate of food, his daughter sat on the table to eat very seriously, and after a while, a plate of food was eaten out of his stomach.
When we came home in the evening, when we ate, she still said that she was not hungry and did not want to eat. Later, Wen Wen's father picked up his daughter and asked her whether the school meal was delicious or whether the family's grandmother was delicious.
The daughter said without hesitation: "Of course, the school meals are delicious!" ”
"So which of your favorite dishes from Grandpa Kitchen is?" I asked my daughter tentatively;
"Buns, hibiscus steamed eggs, braised lion's head, fish balls..." The daughter looked up and said a whole bunch of recipes. It can be seen that the daughter is very satisfied with the kindergarten meal.
Wen Wen Dad looked at the lunch photos sent by the kindergarten teacher, the meal was nothing special, sometimes the soup was empty, it seemed that there was no appetite, and even had a feeling that it was difficult to swallow. But why do children eat with relish?
Wen Wen Dad asked about the younger daughter-in-law who is a teacher in the kindergarten, the sister-in-law heard that eating is an important part of kindergarten life, in order to improve the quality of children's meals, teachers will have certain requirements, and will arrange some pre-dinner and post-meal games, for children who eat well and fast, they will also give certain encouragement.
After some communication with his sister-in-law, Wen Wen dad finally understood why adults complained that kindergarten meals were difficult to swallow, while children ate with relish, for the following reasons:
Kindergartens set up pre-meal games to promote children's appetite
According to the sister-in-law, the reason why the kindergarten will set up a variety of pre-meal games is to let young children eat in a good and happy mood, which helps to improve children's appetite.
My daughter's class has an "information broadcast" session before meals every day, and the whole class broadcasts in order. I remember that once it was my daughter's turn to broadcast, a day in advance, Wen Wen's father accompanied his daughter to collect the relevant nutritional knowledge of the ingredients in the next day's recipe, and then sorted it out.
Before lunch the next day, the daughter will broadcast to the whole class the recipe for the lunch of the day, and the nutritional value of related ingredients. Then the teacher will come up with colorful pictures, plus vivid and interesting descriptions, so that the children know the benefits of each dish to their own body, so that the children have a psychological atmosphere of wanting to eat and loving to eat.
Finally, when the life teacher brings the meal to the class, the children will be very willing to eat, and the appetite will be opened.
There is a time limit for kindergarten meals
When taking the daughter to do child protection, the doctor reminds that the length of the child's meal time will affect the reasonable intake of the child's nutrients.
In kindergartens, in order to cultivate children's good eating habits from an early age, there are restrictions on each meal time, generally within 30-40 minutes. In order to eat a full meal, children will consciously adjust the meal time.
Group competition, set up a "pacesetter for eating"
Children like to listen to stories, like to be praised, some teachers in order to encourage children to eat well, but also in order to facilitate management, will set up a group meal competition, for the "winning" group, will give the title of "eating pacesetter" or stickers, a certain number of points reward.
With such a title and reward, some children who eat slowly and do not eat well will also be infected and encouraged, and gradually eat fast and well.
Wen Wen's father often listened to his daughter go home and said that one day the meal was very serious, and each of them in the group got 2 points, and these points, after accumulating to a certain amount, could be exchanged for various toys.
In this way, children will eat seriously and well in order to get praise, stickers or points from their teachers.
Kindergarten meals are light and young children are active
Children have a variety of physical activities in the kindergarten, running and jumping, and the amount of activity is much larger than at home; and the kindergarten does not have any snacks to eat, only a lunch to order. When the child is tired of playing, consumes physical energy, and is hungry, he is naturally willing to eat.
Secondly, the kindergarten meals are generally relatively light, more in line with the children's appetite; and at home, some adults do not like to eat light diets, especially parents in the Sichuan-Chongqing area, can be described as no spicy, for the kindergarten light diet, naturally feel difficult to swallow, do not know, these meals are very suitable for children. As a result, the children all enjoyed eating with relish.
Wen Wen Dad hereby reminds that the child is in the period of growth and development, and parents should ensure the intake of nutrition for their children. According to the kindergarten recipe, you can understand the types of ingredients and nutrition ingested during the week.
Dinner or weekends can be used to make up for the lack of nutrition. According to the recommendations of the Mainland Dietary Guidelines, children aged 3-5 need 35%-40% of the total energy and nutrients needed every day for lunch to ensure that children can eat enough.
At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the diversity of ingredients, such as rice, noodles, grains, potatoes, mushrooms, lean meat, animal liver, dairy products, soy products, etc. must be ingested.
In the way of cooking, as little as possible fried, roasted, fried, etc., more steaming, boiling, stewing, simmering, etc., in the choice of spices, less or no use of MONOSG, chicken essence, etc.
All in all, kindergarten children, the type of food intake and diet structure are almost close to adults, but compared with adults, they need higher nutrients, the digestive system is not yet fully mature, the stomach capacity is small, and it is lively and active, and it is easy to be hungry. Therefore, three meals a day with balanced nutrition have a great impact on the growth of children.
