Kids often preverences and agree to eat only what they like. Almost all parents have to deal with this situation. Some try to negotiate with the child, while others firmly insist.
Each child has its own unique set of food tastes and habits. Even professionals sometimes difficult to determine what is for kids the norm. On the one hand, it is very important that the child used to eat everything he give. This is the Foundation of good nutrition and throughout life. On the other hand, every kid has their legitimate taste preferences.
Nicety to certain foods, not eating, bad behavior at the table (all these problems are closely related) occur in children after 1, 5 years, usually after 2-3 years. It is very important to understand why the kid would not eat any product. "Legitimate" is this a preference or whim? Usually it is associated with food first the whims of a child. Don't give in, if you feel that this way the child is trying to manipulate you.
To teach a child to eat on her own is not an easy task. To solve it, you need to introduce new products.
For example, as a first complementary food the child is given vegetables. As soon as the baby gets used to the same species (most children like potatoes and carrots), it is necessary to introduce other - zucchini, spinach, cauliflower, peas and tomatoes. In that case, if the child is addicted to a certain type of vegetables and refuses to eat anything else, exclude at the time the kind of vegetables that arouses disgust. Some time later, for example after a month, add in vegetable soup spoon of those vegetables, from which he had previously refused. Add a spoon for spoon these vegetables until the child did not get used. This scheme also applies to all other unwanted products.
A little about the appetite
Problems with appetite is always of concern to parents and doctors. Especially when it comes to children who are ill gain weight. Such a child usually eats less than he expected. However, to make it have "everything", not worth it, especially not to feed him forcibly. This can lead to digestive disorders and even more retarded physical development. In children with malnutrition in low development of digestive juices normal portion of food does not have time to digest to the next feeding, and he is not feeling hungry. If such a child to get something to eat ahead of time, he may experience vomiting as a protective reflex from overfeeding. Appetite decreases dramatically and in many diseases, especially those that are accompanied by fever and intoxication. In the acute period of the disease it is better to stick to the free mode: have a little, but often. That kid always had a good appetite, it is necessary to make its variety of food, and before eating to invite him to drink a little sour fruit juice and allow it to wash down the solid food juice or water.
A few tips:
Note what time of day, and under what circumstances your child is the best and try to use it
Do not offer him and do not allow "bite" out of the mode of feeding
Do not force your child to eat when he wants.
Don't make the process of eating competitions or exams.
New products enter into the diet one at a time, quietly and without comment.
If the child again and again refuses to eat, or, in your opinion, eats too little, offer to eat him as much as he can, or give what he loves.
The kid has the right to refuse a particular product even after repeated repeated requests to eat it.
Do not give the child a treat instead of or as a reward for what he has eaten any product.
