Many parents have to face children's selectivity in food. It looks approximately the same: the child refuses from useful food, but sweets, chips, crackers are ready to consume in huge quantities. Convincing the baby in the advisability of proper nutrition is quite difficult, but still it can and should be done.
Patience and personal example
First of all, parents will need to be patient. With regard to food, children show conservatism, they are not always happy with the introduction of something new in the diet. In addition, many of them useful food seems tasteless. Therefore, it should not be surprising that a child without special enthusiasm eats useful vegetables.
Please note that useful food will have to be transferred to the whole family, since if on some plates there will be fried potatoes, while on others - boiled peas, the transition to a healthy diet is doomed to failure. A visual example can have the strongest impact on a child.
We maintain the power supply of the child
It is worthwhile to revise the power mode directly. For a child to eat food willingly, he should feel hungry. To achieve this, do not arrange child snacks between basic meals. The optimal interval between them is at least three hours.
The more active the baby, the more appetite he eats. It is very important that parents have enough willpower not to succumb to the persuasion of the child and do not feed him all that he likes, but what is harmful in him. Even if he refuses to eat healthy foods, do not give up.
Healthy food - from the cradle!
Learning to something new from the dishes should look natural. Food should not be divided into good and bad. Otherwise, instead of the appearance of healthy eating habits, you will achieve a persistent aversion to food. It is necessary to take into account the taste preferences of the child, since the nutrition of adults is sometimes far from ideal.
The sooner you begin to accustom a child to new products, the easier it will be for him to get used to. Do not wait for the growing up of the baby, start to accustom it to a healthy diet immediately after the introduction of complementary foods.
To develop interest in healthy food, give children beautifully served meals, do not just put food on the plate. Even foods detested for the child can be cooked in such a way that it simply can not refuse them.
