Introduction: It is important for children to learn to eat independently! When these points are done well, parents do not have to chase and feed
The cousin has been particularly upset recently, because the child does not eat well, feeds a bite, does not feed will not eat, even if the means, the child is not obedient, a meal can eat two hours.
The child starts from the complementary food, the grandmother has to reach out to feed every time, the cousin dissuades, the grandmother does not listen at all, thinking that the child will naturally eat it when he is older, and now there is nothing to feed.
As a result, now the child is almost four years old and still can't eat by himself, always feeding before eating, and now Grandma is impatient, often saying: "How can the child not eat by himself when he is so old?" Look at how good people are! ”
Hearing this, the cousin was so angry that she had nothing to say, and it was useless to say more, so she could only bear it in silence and teach her children to eat.
I believe that many people think so, children small feeding and eating is no big deal, wait for nature will be, do not go deep as if there is no problem, but think carefully, this is very bad, let the child learn to eat independently is very important!
If the child learns to eat on his own too late, there are the following points that are not good.
First, children will not pay attention to anything they do
When feeding, the child does not need to think about what dishes to clip, how much to eat each bite, and does not need to operate with his hands, then in this state, the child will do other things, such as looking east and west, touching here and there, etc. For a long time, the child is used to it, and what he will do in the future will show inattention.
Second, the child becomes less independent
Often feed the child, he will get used to this eating mode, very dependent on the parents, found that when the parents are not willing to feed, the child will make some killer skills, such as crying, many parents are easy to compromise, over time, do other things The child will also be like this, when you don't want to do it, you will ask the parents for help, and slowly become less independent.
Third, the fine coordination of the child's hand movements cannot be exercised
If you feed regularly, your child does not need to eat by himself, just open his mouth. And children who exercise themselves early to eat, his hands will be exercised from time to time, and the fine coordination of the hands will become very good, which is very helpful for learning to write in the future.
And children eat by themselves, can exercise the eyes, brain, so that they will become more flexible, if you feed regularly, these can not exercise.
Combining these, it is very beneficial for children to learn to eat independently early. How exactly? When these points are done, parents do not have to chase and feed!
1, the child can sit steadily, and can sit for a long time, parents can put the child into the special dining chair, so that the child knows that every meal must sit in a fixed position, so that it will not run around, the dining chair only bowls and tableware, the child can not do other things.
2, more encourage children to eat by themselves, when the child will not use tableware, want to grasp with their hands, parents do not stop, so that children can feel the pleasure of eating, the real touch to the food, the child will eat better.
3, when it is found that the child always drops the meal, do not deal with it at the first time, do not reprimand the first time, the child has just learned to eat, this situation is inevitable. If you find that you have to take care of the meal as soon as you find it, it will destroy the atmosphere of the child's meal, so it is difficult for the child to continue to eat well.
4, when the child eats slowly, do not always urge, should give him a certain amount of time, as long as you eat a bite and continue to eat, do not bother him, and so on after developing the habit of eating independently, the child will naturally eat fast. If you are always urged to eat, the child will feel stressed and feel unhappy to eat, then if you are not in the mood to eat every time, it is impossible to eat well.
5, parents should change the way of cooking, such as broccoli, can not always cut pieces of fried, can change the pattern, for example, with broccoli steamed eggs, more to change, the child eats better, if always unchanged, then delicious will also eat tired, once the child is not interested in eating, it will become difficult to eat, parents may have to feed.
The above points are helpful for children to develop the habit of eating independently, are you doing this?
