Analysis of children's picky eating behavior

Children eat a lot of food they like, but little or no food they don't like. Many times, when children show that they don't like certain foods, parents don't persuade them, don't make sense, but blindly accommodate them. They believe that children will naturally get rid of picky eaters when they grow up. But this is not the case. Experts remind that children's excessive picky eaters will lead to insufficient or excessive intake of certain nutrients, which will lead to children's susceptibility to illness or obesity and seriously affect their growth and development.

In fact, children's picky eaters are also related to parents' attitudes. For example, when children show that they don't like certain foods, parents are always accommodating. Blindly satisfying children's "appetite", they think that with the growth of age, children will naturally get rid of picky eaters. Some parents even chase their children to feed them.

To treat children's "picky eaters" behavior, please parents and friends try their best to do the following:

1, reasonably arrange the time and quantity of snacks for children, and minimize snacks;

2. Don't force children to eat a certain food, so as not to deepen their dislike of this food;

3. Change patterns frequently to create a pleasant dining environment to arouse children's appetite;

4. Use vivid educational methods to induce children to know the benefits of eating various foods.

In fact, the eating habits of children who are partial to food or picky eaters are often influenced by the eating concepts and habits of adults. Some parents are picky eaters or partial eaters, and their children are influenced by their parents. Some are caused by improper feeding by parents. For example, some parents let their children eat what they like, and sometimes they eat too much at a time, which is easy to get hurt. Of course, there are also children's reasons, for example, children are picky eaters, eating snacks during meals affects their appetite, and drinking too much juice or sugary drinks before or during meals.

Therefore, experts suggest that if parents want to enrich their children's tastes, they should first set an example and demonstrate their children's good eating habits. In a reasonable range, children can choose their favorite food; Don't threaten or cajole when guiding children's diet, and praise and encourage them in time when they do well.
