The new year is approaching, and the children's expectations and joy are beyond words. In the north, this special day means that families begin to make final preparations for the Chinese New Year, while children wait eagerly for that day to come, knowing that it is the day they can indulge in snacks. On this day, the children's pockets are always filled with candy, melon seeds, biscuits and other snacks, as if they want to eat enough snacks for the year.
However, for parents, how to arrange snacks for their children is a matter that needs to be carefully considered. First of all, parents need to be careful to avoid two misconceptions about snacking:One is to let children eat snacks at will, regardless of time, variety and quantity, as well as children's digestion and absorption capacity; The second is to excessively restrict children from eating snacks, or even completely prohibit children from eating snacks. Neither of these attitudes is conducive to the healthy development of children.
Your child's snacks can be neither too much nor without. How do you choose and arrange snacks for your child? In general, a period of time after breakfast and after waking up from a nap is a good time to give your child a snack shot. In the morning, you can choose some foods with higher energy, such as cakes, biscuits, etc.; After a nap, give your child some fruit as a snack. You don't have to give your child extra snacks at night, and if your child needs to drink milk before bedtime, you should also control it in moderation.
In addition, parents also need to pay attention to the following points when choosing snacks for their children:
Choose nutritious snacks. Such as:Sunflower seeds, peanuts, walnuts, etcNut foods are rich in protein, fat, and vitamins and minerals; Dried fruits such as jujubes and raisinsRich in vitamin C and other nutrients; Cheese, figs, etcRich in calcium and healthy fats. These foods are delicious and good for your child's growth and development.
Control your snack intake. While snacks are important for a child's development, excessive intake can also affect a child's health. Parents should reasonably control the amount and frequency of snacks eaten by their children according to their age and physical condition.
Pay attention to the hygiene and quality of snacks. When buying snacks, parents should choose regular brands and merchants to avoid buying expired or low-quality food. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the hygiene of the food, and do not let children eat dirty or expired food.
Guide your child to develop good snacking habits. Parents should educate their children to correctly understand the effects and harms of snacks and let them develop good snacking habits. Such as:Don't snack before meals or bedtime, and don't eat too many foods that are high in sugar, fat, and salt
In short, the new year is approaching, and both parents and children need to reward themselves for their hard work and efforts throughout the year. Parents should pay attention to the appropriate amount, nutrition, hygiene and good habits when arranging snacks for their children to help them grow up healthily. At the same time, it is also important to understand your child's love and need for snacks and avoid being overly restrictive or laissez-faire.
