It is simple for children to eat by themselves, but it is difficult in reality. Many parents report that it is particularly difficult for children aged two or three, three or four, or even five or six to eat. If you don't catch up with the meal, the child won't be able to eat a few bites.

Parents are always worried about their children's malnutrition. In desperation, they either try their best, or pursue them with rice bowls, or use big tricks to lure them until their children eat planned meals. My parents were very satisfied and finally completed the big task.

That's my grandmother. If the child doesn't eat, he quickly coaxed and said, "Do you want me to roll you a cake with honey? Roll a cake with hemp juice? " As soon as children hear sweet and fragrant things, they will have a good meal. Seeing that children don't eat vegetables, they are anxious to pick up the vegetables and send them to their mouths, so that children can play with their toys and not delay eating.

Such a meal should have ended in 15 minutes, and it could not be finished in two hours. A lot of time is spent on eating and drinking every day, and the time for sports and early education is greatly compressed, which is really a waste of time.

Please take a few days off, let grandma rest and take care of the children by herself. I find it not difficult for children to eat. As soon as I finished eating, I volunteered to be hungry, and I was very focused when I was eating, and I quickly finished eating his meal. It turns out that children are looking at people and ordering food. As long as the method is proper, children's bad eating habits can be completely changed.

Now let's talk about the phenomenon, reasons and solutions of children eating.

According to the reaction of parents and some phenomena in children, I have summarized several situations of eating badly, which are roughly as follows.

When it comes to eating, push from pillar to post.

It stands to reason that eating is a very happy thing. As soon as I heard that I wanted to eat, I rushed to the table happily, but some children were not.

As soon as they hear the word "eat", they will cry and say "I don't want to eat", "I don't want to eat at the table" and "these are not my favorite meals" ...........................................................................................................

(2) Eat and play.

Under normal circumstances, to do one thing, you should eat quickly when you eat, and go to play quickly after eating, but many children are not so attentive when they eat.

When I am hungry, I will wolf down something to eat, and when I am not too hungry, I will start to have moths. Reading, playing with toys, watching cartoons, or even running around the house, you won't sit still and eat well.

(3) Eating snacks without dinner is very exciting.

Three meals a day, every meal is very important, and on time, in theory, you should be able to develop good eating habits. But many children don't eat well and want to eat after dinner.

"People are iron rice steel, and they are hungry without a meal." Children don't eat dinner or are not full. After an hour or two, they will start to be hungry. Adults will give children fruits and snacks to satisfy their hunger.

There are many reasons why children can't eat well. Some are not influenced by children's will. Some of them are the result of parents' efforts. Whatever the reason, it is necessary for us to understand it in order to solve these problems better.

Between playing and eating, children are more inclined to play. If it's time for dinner and the child has a good time, he will choose to play rather than eat. If you keep calling him to eat, his order will feel affected and he will naturally cry. Children don't want to eat, but also because of interest.

Children are naturally curious, and the younger they are, the more curious they are. As long as there is trouble around, the child will look up and prepare to study it. Even if you are eating, you will not be bound. Therefore, it is normal for children to eat, play while eating and look around.

Children's concentration is not good enough. According to an experiment of Harvard University, children's concentration increases with age. The concentration of 3-year-old children is only 3-5 minutes, 4-year-old 10 minutes and 5-year-old 15 minutes. From this point of view, it is difficult for children to stay still for a meal, 15 minutes.

Children's habits are easy to solidify, and it can be said that they have a strong sense of order. Once he has formed the habit of not eating or being hungry, he can eat and play at any time without scruple. Anyway, there are always people who will be anxious and their stomachs will not be wronged. Why worry for a while!

The child is so clever that he seems to be a natural psychologist. He knows that his parents love him and love him, and he won't let go.

Children can't eat well, and the more they persuade them, the more they yell and cry, which makes parents very depressed. In fact, you can do the opposite, temporarily "hold back", don't "demand" him, don't give in, but he will take the initiative. I have tried these methods to treat children who can't eat well.

? Hold back from persuading children to eat.

When it's time to eat, just shout "eat" and don't repeat it. If the child cries, it means that he doesn't eat and doesn't need to pay attention. Simply put, it is to understand "Oh, you don't eat!" Then, other families eat well and create a good dining atmosphere.

It is boring for children to play alone when they see no one to accompany them. If they are "herd mentality", they will eat well. This has been tried and tested on my children.

There may be another situation. The child didn't go to eat as we expected. We can tell them that there is nothing to eat after dinner. After eating, clear the table, take the food away, and don't leave any food for the children alone. After a few times, the child will have a long memory and know that it is impossible to eat without eating.

? Hold back and not meet all his unreasonable needs.

Children are uncomfortable eating, want to watch cartoons, read books, eat somewhere else and ask for extra food. Don't meet all needs unprincipled. Tell children to "concentrate when eating, and then do other things after eating."

Children will be unhappy at first, even crying and threatening. It doesn't matter, once or twice, children will understand that all their unreasonable demands will not be answered. Only by eating well can they do what they want better.

? Hold back and don't tease the child while he is eating.

As the old saying goes, "Sleep without talking, eat without talking." Some adults didn't do it either. I can't help teasing my children, competing with them to eat, showing them new things, joking with them, etc. These are bad behaviors that distract children's attention.

If parents want their children to eat well, they must first set an example. Concentrate on eating while eating, and don't treat children as your own pistachios. Let children know that eating is a quiet and concentrated activity and develop a good habit of concentration.

? Hold back, don't provide too many extra meals.

If the child doesn't eat well, he will definitely be hungry in the future. Children often don't know that they are hungry and cry. Parents are eager to love their children, so they can naturally guess the reasons and quickly prepare a sumptuous snack for their children to fill their stomachs.

This has three disadvantages: first, let the children have no hunger at the next meal and continue to skip dinner. Second, children have psychological dependence and cry when they are hungry. Third, snacks are not nutritious enough, and there may be nutritional imbalance. In the long run, it will be difficult for children to form good eating habits.

Therefore, we must master a degree. The child's stomach capacity is very small. It is normal to eat a little complementary food between meals, but it can't provide the weight of the main meal.

It is common for children to have trouble eating. Because of my young age, various physiological and psychological factors, and the help of my family, eating has become a headache. However, this phenomenon can be changed. As long as we can hold back and don't do something that affects the children's eating rules, the children will eat well and then everyone will be happy.
