If a child eats badly

But as soon as lunch time, you start the problem? Until recently, your baby meekly ate everything that was given, and now requires sandwiches with jam, and on vegetables curve and said "fu"?

Maybe he does not like that steak on the plate lies directly in the mashed potatoes, or he refuses all green, or two weeks of eating yogurt for breakfast, and then said that he was to endure them can not?

Dealing with picky is not easy, but, as difficult as you do not have, do not let the events in the kitchen turn into a real war.

Some tips

Trouble-free way to get children to try and love some food there, but psychologists still give parents some advice.

1. Try to diversify the food. The more you offer your child new foods, the greater variety of foods he will eat.
2. Do not give. Do not stop to offer your child a dish just because he abandoned it a few times.
3. Themselves set an example and eat a healthy diet. Try not to bring home chips, cookies, cakes and other foods, not useful for your child.
4. Do not try to promises or threats to force the child to eat. If you promise to pay, the child will think "perhaps this is really disgusting, if then I promise that!"
5. Do not force your child to eat everything up. Appetite children is about a quarter of the adult meal, so do not force your child to eat more than he can.
6. Do not threaten a child and did not punish him. Do not show the baby that you are concerned about and worry about it. If the way the child was simply seeking attention, he will continue in the same spirit.
7. Let your child choose yourself. If food is preferred by the child, nutritionally adequate, let him eat it up. Do not be fooled, if he eats the same thing for quite some time.
8. Give your child a snack between meals. If a child ate poorly, try a couple of hours to offer him something useful - fresh fruit, vegetables or whole-wheat crackers. So you're confident that he is not starving.
