What to do if a 7-year-old child doesn't like to eat?

Nowadays we are particularly concerned about children's health. First, children are too young to take care of themselves. Second, there is usually only one child in a family, and several adults have to take care of one child. If the child is not feeling well, the whole family will be anxious, especially the problem of children's eating. Generally, younger children can still eat a little, but if a seven or eight-year-old child does not eat well, it will cause parents a headache. So what should we do if a 7-year-old child does not like to eat?

1. First of all, the dietary structure should be reasonable, which not only ensures nutrition but also suits children's taste. Children are in the stage of growth and development, and should be supplied with sufficient calcium, iron, zinc and other trace elements and protein, so they can eat more soy products, lean meat, fish, eggs, green leafy vegetables, etc. You can refer to relevant books for details. I don’t know much about it. Children are more curious, so the food should be made more colorful and the dishes should be more special, which can attract his attention and naturally arouse his appetite.

2 Control the amount of snacks your child eats. If he eats less snacks, he will feel hungry and will naturally want to eat. Moreover, some snacks are bad for the body if eaten too much, as they contain certain preservatives. If your child is greedy, you can let him eat more natural and fresh foods, such as various fruits and so on.

3 Children also need to be coaxed by adults. Don't be too harsh on them when they don't want to eat, otherwise they will develop a dislike for eating. You can scare them, for example, saying that if you don't eat, your mother won't like you, you won't grow tall, you will become so ugly that no one will like you, etc. In short, children need to be coaxed and deceived. Sometimes you can give them some other material or spiritual incentives to let them understand that if they listen to their mother and eat more, they can be praised and get what they want or want to play with.

Now we know what to do if a 7-year-old child doesn’t like to eat. We generally love our children very much. Children are in an important period of growth and development. If the child’s nutrition cannot keep up, it will definitely affect the child’s physical development. If the child doesn’t like to eat, parents should also look for their own reasons, or whether the child is unwell. Parents need to be more careful when treating their children.
