During the Chinese New Year, every family will prepare sumptuous New Year's goods and delicacies, but for children, if they do not pay attention to a healthy diet, it is easy to have problems such as food accumulation. So, how to let children eat healthy and not accumulate food during the Chinese New Year? Here are some things to look out for.

First of all, the child's diet should be light and easy to digest。There is a wide variety of food during the Chinese New Year, but the child's digestive system is relatively weak and easily stimulated by food. Therefore, the child's diet should be light and easy to digest, and avoid too greasy and spicy food, so as not to increase the burden on the child's stomach. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the regularity of the child's diet, do not let the child overeat, try to eat less snacks, and give the child more water or light soup porridge and other easily digestible food.

Secondly, pay attention to the hygiene and quality of food。During the Chinese New Year, there are many types of food, and the quality is uneven, if the child eats unclean or expired and spoiled food, it is easy to have diarrhea, vomiting and other problems. Therefore, parents must pay attention to the hygiene and quality of food when buying New Year's goods and preparing food, try to choose reputable brands and merchants, and avoid buying inferior food. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the way the food is stored to avoid the food from being spoiled or contaminated after expiration.

Third, pay attention to the child's balanced nutrition。Although there is a rich variety of food during the Chinese New Year, many children prefer high-calorie foods such as meat and ignore foods rich in vitamins and minerals such as vegetables and fruits. This can easily lead to unbalanced nutrition, obesity, weakened immunity and other problems. Therefore, parents should guide their children to eat more vegetables, fruits and other foods rich in vitamins and minerals to ensure that their children's nutrition is balanced. At the same time, according to the child's age and growth and development needs, the type and amount of food should be reasonably arranged.

Fourth, pay attention to your child's emotional and psychological adjustment。During the Chinese New Year, children may have emotional problems such as anxiety and irritability for various reasons, which will also affect the child's dietary health. Therefore, parents should pay attention to their children's emotional changes, communicate with their children more, and let their children maintain a good attitude and mental state. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the reasonable arrangement of children's living and rest time, ensure that children have sufficient sleep and rest time, and avoid excessive fatigue or excitement of children.

Finally, if your child has problems such as overeating, take timely measures。If your child has symptoms such as bloating, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and vomiting, it may be that there is a problem with food accumulation. At this time, parents should take timely measures, such as adjusting the child's diet and massaging the child's stomach, etc., to alleviate the child's symptoms. If symptoms are severe or prolonged, seek medical attention.

In short, allowing children to eat healthy and not accumulate food during the Chinese New Year requires careful care and reasonable arrangements from parents. Parents should pay attention to their children's dietary hygiene and quality, nutritional balance, emotional and psychological adjustment, and reasonably arrange their children's diet and living schedule to ensure that their children have a healthy and happy New Year. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to their own words and deeds and the creation of a family atmosphere, so that children can feel the warmth and happiness of home.
