What to do if your child is picky about food

Children being picky eaters is quite painful for mothers, mainly because children being picky eaters can easily lead to malnutrition in children. So for this kind of situation, we suggest that mothers can pay attention to the diversity of meals and spend more time on some tableware, strictly control children's consumption of snacks and criticize children, and not let them become picky eaters in life.

Children are in the period of growing up. If they become picky eaters, it will have a great impact on their physical health. Because children are picky eaters, our mothers should guide them correctly in life and pay attention to the diversity of their diet.

Young children are in the stage of growth and development, and their nutritional status will directly affect their growth. If a child is picky about food, it will lead to malnutrition, weight loss, sallow complexion, dry skin, and even anemia, hypoglycemia, low body temperature, slow pulse, low blood pressure, and malnutrition.

1. Put more effort into the diversity, variety and reasonable combination of food varieties, the quality of cooking including color, aroma, taste and shape, and the selection of tableware, so that children can maintain a strong appetite when eating and enjoy every meal.

2. Parents should set an example by not being picky eaters, or at least try not to show picky eaters in front of children to prevent improper guidance of children; avoid criticizing and scolding children when they are eating, which may make them unhappy and affect their appetite; serve children small amounts of rice and encourage them to eat multiple times to increase their confidence in eating; if a child is not in the mood to eat and is not completely full, parents would rather let him eat more later than force him to eat; take good care of the diet of sick children.

3. Control the amount and frequency of snacks for children. The snacks they eat should be of both fine and coarse types, such as raw vegetables, fruits, etc.

4. Teach children relevant knowledge and principles in a form that is convenient for them and they are willing to accept. When children eat in kindergarten, you can conduct some evaluations and competitions on diet, and use their competitive spirit to prevent and correct picky eating.

Only by taking a scientific attitude and paying attention to feeding techniques, mastering the quality and quantity of food, and actively correcting picky eating, can we provide children with adequate nutrition and ensure their healthy growth.
