It was not easy to eat vegetables, and that night my father-in-law prepared two big plates: garlic heart and stir-fried cucumber. However, when they were put in the bowl, Lebao quickly pulled them out again with a spoon: “Mom, I don’t want to eat vegetables, I want to eat eggs!” “Bok choy is very nutritious, eat bok choy fingers will not peel, and can also grow tall ……” I continued to clip the vegetable heart into his bowl. He took care of my emotions and reluctantly shoved the bok choy into his mouth, but after chewing it twice, he spit it out again and cried, “Mom, I don’t want to eat bok choy, I’ll eat it and throw up.” Seeing his pitiful look, I had to give up! Before going to bed, my mother-in-law asked me with embarrassment: “Is your father’s cooking is not good? I look at the Internet, many children’s meals are made like a painting …… “Well, I did not expect that this matter also caused a great burden on the hearts of the two elderly. They are tired enough with children, do not really ask them to pay attention to taste, the pursuit of shape, too unrealistic it! I hurriedly waved my hands: “No, no, no. I already have a way ……” There is a way that is false! However, after a flip through the phone and a burst of divine conversation with moms in the mom circle, I had my own idea. The next day, I began to implement their own plan: Step 1: The whole family is a good example for him Why does Le Bao love to eat meat? Because our whole family loves meat. My husband and I do not like meat, my father-in-law stir-fry in addition to onion, ginger and garlic is almost meat. First of all, the atmosphere is not good, to change! How to change? A mix of meat and veggies, with meat but not much, and with grandparents and mom and dad showing a passion for vegetables. I put a green vegetable in the bowl of grandpa, grandma and dad, and Le Bao shook his head at first: “I don’t want it.” But when we happily swept up all the vegetables for a few days, Le Bao got a little upset: “Mom, I want to eat too, why don’t you give it to me?” Step 2: Encouragement starts with “just one bite” Don’t think that LeBao wants to eat, so he really gobbles up the vegetables. At first, chew a few bites, he will still spit out. Everything is gradual, and so is eating vegetables. As long as he is willing to eat, then we start with “just a bite” to start. One bite of vegetable, one bite of winter squash, one bite of broccoli …… is not resistant, that is good. I slowly learned what he likes to taste. He loves to eat winter squash, cabbage, potatoes …… quite a few categories. Previously, as long as we found out what we like to eat, my father-in-law will do several meals in a row. This time, we said in advance, we change the pattern. The more patterns, the more attractive to children ah! Shrimp winter melon, shredded potatoes fried meat …… each meal with a little surprise, Le Bao not only eat more vegetables up, but also take the initiative to ask grandpa, “what vegetables we eat at night ah! Step 3: Rub vegetables into interesting stories Take Le Bao to the supermarket, Le Bao picked up a carrot and happily sang, “Pulling radish, heyyo heyyo pulling radish ……” This inspired me again. We were so enthusiastic about spinach when we were little, and that was all because of the cartoon Popeye! By the same token, why not rub the vegetables into a funny story? Before going to bed, I started to tell Le Bao the story of the vegetable kingdom: once upon a time, there was a child who loved to eat loofah scrambled eggs and loofah egg soup, and his grandfather planted a lot of loofahs in his yard. He watered and fertilized the loofahs every day, but a few of them grew too strangely, and they couldn’t grow high, and they were covered with little thorns and fat. So he asked his grandfather, “Grandpa, are these loofahs sick?” Grandpa took a look and laughed: “This is not a loofah, this is a cucumber.” The child then asked, “Grandpa, can you scramble eggs with cucumbers?” Grandpa said yes. Hearing this, Le Bao said happily, “Mom, tomorrow I want to eat scrambled eggs with cucumbers too!” The next day, he followed Grandpa to buy and wash cucumbers, and as soon as the scrambled eggs were served, he happily ate them. My heart was filled with pride when my child made a difference. Here also to give parents a shot in the arm: first, do not scold children too much, do not eat vegetables on the fight, so it is easy for children to eat vegetables on the matter of resistance; second, do not reward children too much, a food on the reward, once the child to take this as a “blackmail” parental bargaining chip, it is a problem. But really, when you have time, we do with the children to do that like the painting of the food, both eye, but also delicious, but also interesting, the children will be more like, right?
