What's the reason that children are picky about food

summary

The problem of children's pickiness will make many parents feel headache and at a loss. Here I share some of my experience with you to let you know why children are picky? Then we can "suit the remedy to the case".

What's the reason that children are picky about food

Reason 1: Children's own factors: after one year old, children's self-awareness began to develop rapidly and showed strong independence. They like "I'll do it myself". They would resist some of the food arrangements given by adults and insist on eating according to their own wishes. Therefore, when it comes to eating, they don't eat but continue to do what they want to do.

The second reason is the parents' family factors: parents ignore the cultivation of their children's normal eating habits, too indulgent and laissez faire to their children, children do not develop a fixed place to eat, and parents chase after their children to feed, which encourages their children's picky eating habits. Parents intentionally or unintentionally show a preference for a certain kind of food in front of their children, and children are naturally imitated by the influence of partial food consciousness.

The third reason is that parents pay too much attention to their children's health and often force their children to eat some nutritious food, which causes their children's aversion to these foods. In the stage of adding complementary food, parents did not pay attention to eating all kinds of food for their children, which made their children's taste not adapt to and accept a lot of food

matters needing attention

First of all, the place for children to eat should be fixed. Before eating, parents should try not to arrange children to watch TV, listen to radio, read books, play toys and other activities. They should turn off the TV and put away toys and books. 2. Parents have to eat with their children. Studies have shown that children who often eat without their parents and other relatives will feel lonely and abandoned, and even affect the healthy development of their personality. We should create a quiet and relaxed dining environment for children. Parents can ask children to abide by the necessary dining rules and set an example. 4. Adults should set an example and not be picky and anorexic, including pregnant women and lactating mothers. For the health of the next generation, they should try their best to select food scientifically and diversify food to ensure balanced and comprehensive nutrition. 5. The variety of food should be diversified. Pay attention to the variety, color, taste, shape and collocation of food to cultivate children's good eating behavior.
