When children do not eat well, parents should not just complain about their children, instead they should first check if they are not doing enough. Pui children’s house doctor summed up the seven common bad feeding behavior of parents, welcome to check themselves. 1, monotonous diet, rarely change the pattern Once a friend told me that her son’s appetite is not as good as before. Carefully asked the original she arranged for the child every day at noon scrambled tomatoes and eggs with rice, has been eating for three months. God! Poor child is small, can not speak, if he can express in words, I really do not know how the child will “blood and tears” it. 2, take toys to coax, chase and feed Some families feed their children to eat with the same war, busy, a parent coaxing, another parent chasing after the child’s buttocks running around, a meal to eat on an hour still can not finish. Children’s attention is easily distracted, playing with toys and watching TV while eating will reduce the child’s attention to food. It is recommended that parents turn off the TV and put away toys before the child eats to create a good environment for the child to eat. In fact, children are born knowing hunger and full, they are eating until half full or full before playing around, and really hungry time will not be so. 3, always worry about the child is not enough to eat, frequently give the child stuffed snacks Some parents are always worried about the child hungry, always think about stuffed snacks to him. More than once, Xiao Peijun saw children in the community playing outdoors when they were high, grandparents pulled the child, stuffing his mouth with a mouthful of bananas, bread and so on. When is the best time to eat? Of course it is when you are hungry, and when you are full, even if it is a delicious meal, it loses its appeal. I really sympathize with these children, the game was interrupted, not to mention, I’m afraid these children have never experienced the taste of hunger, not hungry, which can appreciate the delicious food ah. 4, excessive attention, excessive anxiety Imagine you are eating, a large number of people around you, staring, you eat any bite will be commented on. This gorilla in the zoo is surrounded by the feeling, how uncomfortable! It is recommended that from the start of adding complementary foods, you should consciously arrange for children and adults to eat at the same table. 1 year old after three meals a day try to synchronize with the family, rather than let the baby eat alone. 5, dogmatically compare the amount of food of your own baby with the book I remember a mother once asked me with great anxiety that her baby usually drank 200ml of milk at every meal, but in recent days there were two meals where she drank only 180ml, is there something wrong? Another parent asked, the book recommends adding 40g of cereals, 20g of vegetables and legumes and 20g of fruits every day, do I need to buy an electronic scale and weigh it before my baby eats? In fact, any book or professional recommendation is only a general reference, because the amount of food eaten by children of the same age often varies greatly, and a very active baby may have to eat one to two times more food than a quiet baby. Babies’ appetites fluctuate from time to time, and parents should not be too concerned about the amount of food they eat at each meal, but more about the results of feeding, i.e. how fast their baby is growing in weight and height. Buy an electronic scale to weigh things by the gram to the baby to eat, it is a little too much. 6, intimidation, the threat of forcing children to eat more Once a small Peijun in a restaurant, the aisle is equipped with a rocking car. A little girl of about 2 years old was playing with the rocking car, and her father was feeding her with a bowl on the side. The little girl ate a big bite, the father was very happy, and took a coin to let the baby continue to play. When the baby didn’t want to eat, the father slapped her on the face. The little girl cried out and choked on the rice she had in her mouth, coughing all over her face. The small Peijun looked on in amazement, how can you force a child to eat by hitting it, how dangerous it is! Luckily, the little girl finally coughed up the choked rice, otherwise the hospital would have another case of foreign body in the airway. When the child is full, if parents repeatedly urge her to eat more, it will turn eating into a struggle, and the pleasant feeling that food brings to people is all erased. When eating becomes a joyless thing, the normal appetite will be destroyed, and even affect the child’s nutritional status and parent-child relationship. 7, afraid to let go of the child to eat on their own baby how much to eat on their own, depends largely on when parents give their children the opportunity to learn to eat. Most children will show a desire to use a spoon themselves by the time they are 9 to 12 months old, such as grabbing a spoon from their parents when they are fed. Please give your child the opportunity to practice, as most babies are able to eat independently by the age of 1 to 2 years. If you miss this opportunity, when the child reaches 2 years old and the parents announce, “You’ve been fed all this time, now it’s time for you to eat by yourself,” the child is likely to take a negative attitude and say, “No, just no, I’m used to being fed, and besides, it’s my privilege! ” Just as it is the best time to go to college when you are 17 or 18 years old, when you are 30 years old and you still want to go to college, I am afraid you will have to work much harder than a 17 or 18 year old high school student.
