How can we ensure that children have balanced nutrition and are healthier?

We all know that only when people have a balanced diet can they be healthier. However, many people's children tend to be picky eaters, which will lead to very unbalanced nutritional intake for their children, thus affecting their physical development and even their intellectual development. So, if a child is picky about food or has a partial eclipse, how should we correct it?

(1) Find out the reasons why children are picky eaters

Is it the influence of parents or the food is not to the child’s taste? Only when the cause is found can we “prescribe the right medicine”.

(2) Avoid giving your child too much sweet or greasy food

In particular, do not let children eat sweets before meals, otherwise they will have no appetite at mealtime, and it will also have a bad influence on children to develop the habit of eating on time.

(3) Cultivate the habit of children eating less or no snacks

Or negotiate peacefully with your child to only eat small snacks at set times. Parents need to cultivate the habit of eating less or no snacks in their children when they are young.

(4) Parents should take the lead in eating a balanced diet

Children have a strong ability to imitate. For example, a child may not like a certain food, but it is nutritious and he or she needs to eat it. Parents can take the lead in eating and act like they enjoy the food. This way the kids will eat it too.

(5) Develop creative ideas to make children love eating

Children like listening to stories and playing games. Parents can use storytelling and games to explain the benefits of eating various foods while their children are eating, and appropriately mention the harm of picky eating to physical growth.

(6) Take your children outdoors more often

Outdoor activities can enhance children's resistance and immunity. And do not rush or beat your children when they eat. Always maintain a happy and relaxed atmosphere so that children can maintain a good appetite.

When children become picky eaters, be sure to let them exercise more, so that their appetite will be better. Parents should also pay attention to innovation in their daily cooking. Not only should there be more types of food, but the appearance of the food should also be diversified. This can arouse children's interest in food and gradually correct their picky eating habits.
