10 rules of proper education from Anna Rymarenko
1. Relationship with food - this is the basis of many other relationships in a child's life: to yourself, to your body's needs, and the ability to defend their opinion, and much more.
2. Healthy eating behavior - is to feel their needs and choose the best ways to satisfy them. Understand, I am hungry or full, I would now like to eat and when to stop - the foundation of health and physical and moral.
3. Be attentive to yourself - your experience, status and beliefs influence the child is much stronger than the conscious words or actions
4. The child always imitate your manners at the table and take over your relationship with food
5. Remember that all the sensations - including taste - the child is much brighter than that of an adult. Therefore, the strong taste of the factory of sweets, pickles and smoked can shoot down "tuning" of proper nutrition.
6. Only a child can decide how much he can eat - on the basis of the feeling of satiety. Causing overeating, we subject it to severe health risks.
7. If the child is not "eat anything" and it is completely healthy - maybe you skip past his eyes snacks and "interception", considering "real food" only, for example, soup with bread and cutlet with garnish. And apples, biscuits, cereal, juice, eaten on the run - is also quite food.
8. Never distract the baby to cram more food! Not to feed the hungry baby at cartoons and dancing - it's very, very unhealthy practice.
9. The child has a right (as an adult) on uneven appetite. Today want much more tightly and - a little nibble tomorrow. And that's OK!
10. We do not aim to feed the baby at any cost. Our goal - that he was healthy and happy.
