Parents react differently to their kids' quirks at the dinner table.
Today we will share proven ways to persuade a child to eat and not quarrel with all the household.
The best way to change your child's eating habits is to set a positive example. If you want your child to try a new dish, try it and show the child what you like.
Another way to change a child's eating habits is through "sensory influence," whereby parents are interested in a new dish rather than forcing him to eat. Thus, the child gets used to the structure of the food or simply examines it, and soon the baby will want to try.It is worth noting that food picks are common among children. According to research results, 39% of children are picky about their diet and most often it manifests itself between the ages of 2-6 years.
How to feed the mischief?
- Never use food as a reward. For example, promising a child a piece of cake if she eats vegetables. Promise a non-food reward - stickers, or just word of mouth.
- Or you can be persistent. If the child is stubborn about refusing a new food, offer it at the next meal. Research shows that toddlers usually agree to try a new dish after being offered it over 15 meals.
