If you it is not aware, we will open a small secret: all children are awful conservatives, any new food causes in them suspiciousness. For example, some children do not eat the mixed food (salads, soups), others, on the contrary, will not eat products which lie separately from each other on a plate. You should not regard such behavior of the child as a whim. The child has full authority there is the fact that he wants, and in such look as it is pleasant to it.

Difficulties with a chewing

Sometimes little children refuse to eat dense food, such as cutlets or baked puddings. Most likely, it is connected with the fact that the child did not learn to chew independently food yet or because parents a long time fed the kid with the crushed food (can puree, etc.).

Uniform food

It becomes frequent the reason of small appetite uniform food. Perhaps the kid was just bothered by those dishes with which you feed him? Here also the poor creature suffers, cannot run to shop and buy that he wants. Sometimes, on the contrary, the child wants for breakfast, the lunch and a dinner are the same dish. And when you do not meet its requirement, organizes a hunger strike. Here parents should try to correct a situation.

Having a snack

The most widespread mistake of parents – they allow children having a snack between food. Well as it is possible to refuse to the kid when he to ask only one cookie or a piece of bread? Whether it is worth being surprised then that your child does not want anything to eat? Having picked up all and gradually, your kid will naturally refuse to eat as it is full. It is necessary to feed only the hungry child.

Family traditions

The food is the requirement demanding satisfaction. Adults understand it, and children are not present yet. Therefore parents have to teach the child on the example. If parents constantly eat "on the run", in a family there will be no traditional family lunches, then will hardly be able to explain to the son or the daughter that it is necessary to observe a diet.

Offer the kid food consistently and quietly. If the child refuses to eat, you should not be angry. Just clear the table a plate before the following feeding. The child will get hungry and in the following feeding will eat even more. Do not worry if your child misses several feedings at once.

Make so that it was interesting to child to eat food. For example, soup can be served through a tubule, and to wrap cutlet in a color candy wrapper. And if to the child to suggest to participate in process of preparation of a dish, then he will possibly want and to try what you jointly prepared. Involve the kid in table layout. Beautiful ware and a napkin stimulates appetite.

Besides, feeding with a great effort leads to what the child ceases to distinguish independently, he is full or is hungry. And it is the direct road to an overeating, dysfunctions of a GIT and obesity. At more advanced age feeding can violently lead to psychological problems, jamming of a stress, etc.

Do not distract the child from food

Trying to entertain the child in the course of meal, showing it animated cartoons, cheerful pictures, etc., you thereby do it a disservice. All distracting maneuvers teach the kid is, without noticing meal. As a result the child eats more, than it is necessary for it. The discomfort and weight in a stomach are as a result felt. And in the future it can lead to an overeating, gastritis and obesity.

Do not put pressure

Any threats and ultimatums from parents will lead to the fact that at the kid negative reaction to meals will be developed. He will cease to receive positive emotions from food. And the food is not only physiological requirement, but also a pleasure source. Children who reside under pressure in adulthood can allow emotional and physical abuse over themselves.
