How to make your child love eating?

The main reason why children do not eat is that they have not developed good eating habits since childhood. Not paying attention to children's snacks will cause children to not like to eat. If this situation is serious, it will also lead to anorexia. You should develop a good habit of eating less snacks and more meals. Don't be too lazy and pay more attention to your food hygiene. Parents, in particular, should play a good leading role.

When children are eating, they are always restless or simply choose not to eat, so their parents will use coercion and inducement, such as: "I won't take you out to play if you don't eat" or "I will buy you a toy if you finish your meal obediently" and so on. Of course, sometimes no matter what tricks parents use, children always refuse to cooperate, so parents who have reached the limit of their patience begin to "explode", become easily annoyed, and use force to make their children eat. Children's lack of appetite may be caused by poor digestion or zinc deficiency, as zinc deficiency can lead to a decrease in appetite.

1. You can use lactase, lactase, pepsin oral liquid, etc. to help digestion.

2. Check your child's trace elements to determine whether he or she is zinc deficient. If he or she is indeed zinc deficient, zinc gluconate preparations can be used for zinc supplementation.

3. Children over three years old can eat by themselves and there is no need to chase them to feed them. It is recommended to cultivate good eating habits in children as early as possible. For example, you can tell your child clearly about the timing and quantity of meals, if he/she misses this meal, he/she will not be able to eat until the next meal. During this period, he/she can only drink water and cannot eat snacks, no matter how hungry he/she says he/she is. This will help your child develop good eating habits. However, you should not criticize or even scold your child during mealtime just because he or she does not eat. This will make your child feel that eating is a chore and he or she will hate eating even more. In fact, it’s okay for children to go hungry for one or two meals occasionally. Don’t think that giving children snacks will not make them hungry. Children will think, why should they eat since they have snacks to eat? The most important thing is to gain the support of the elderly at home to avoid educating on one side and indulging on the other side, which will be ineffective. In addition, children must not play with toys or watch TV while eating to prevent distraction.
