As parents, we have all faced the problem of picky eating and anorexia in our children.

Whenever this happens, many parents may wonder:"If the child doesn't eat, it's good to be hungry? ”

Mingming is a 1-year-old boy who usually likes to eat snacks very much, but when it comes to mealtime, he becomes picky and anorexic.

Mingming's parents tried a variety of methods, but nothing worked.

One day, Mingming's parents decidedMake him hungry, thinking that this way he will cherish the food even more.

However, the results were unexpected.

After Ming Ming was hungry all day, although the demand for food increased, he stillShows aversion to certain foodsattitude.

Behind the seemingly simple solution of anorexia in children, there are many unknown scientific truths.

Parental attitudes.

I once heard of a case where a mother noticed that her child vomited as soon as he finished eating.

At first, she thought that the child might have eaten something bad, but after the doctor's examination and diagnosis, no physical problems were found.

Later, a psychologist of this mom's friend reminded her:

Your child's problems may not be physical, but psychological.

It turned out that the mother and her husband were not tall, so she was very worried about the child's height development and hoped to promote the child's growth by increasing nutrition.

So, she desperately put vegetables into the child's bowl at every meal, and let the child drink a big bowl of soup after eating.

Feed emotional intelligence. According to statistics, there isMore than 40% are 1-7 years oldChildren have problems such as picky eating, picky eating, and not eating well.

The reasons behind these problems are complex and cannot be solved by starving for a single meal.

There was a boy in the child's kindergarten, and every time he ate, he couldn't eat, and he always complained of stomach pain.

The mother said that the child was pretending on purpose, and kept scolding.

It wasn't until the child had black stools and vomited that the mother rushed him to the hospital, and when the doctor examined him, the child had duodenal ulcer and had bleeding.

At the same time,Zinc deficiencyIt will make the child's sense of taste worse, and iron deficiency will lead to weakened digestionVitamin B1 deficiencyIt can cause metabolic disorders, which can cause loss of appetite in children.

Therefore, once the child can't eat, the parents should not rush to force and scold, lest the child who is suffering on his body will be sad again.

For some young babies, parents should not be forced to eat well when they suddenly do not eat well.

Children around 1 year oldObviously, the amount of food used to be very good, but when you suddenly eat without opening your mouth, spitting out food, or throwing food, it is generally in the period of regression in eating.

Children after 1 1/2 years oldThe self-consciousness sprouts, enters the first period of resistance, begins to be picky about food, always wants to eat according to his own wishes, or he still wants to play when it is time to eat.

At this time, parents should respect the wishes of their childrenAs long as the child is developing normally, there is no need to stumble and wait for the stomach to open.

There is a term in child psychology called feeding emotional intelligence, which refers to the emotions and attitudes of parents towards their children's meals.

The real emotional intelligence of feeding is the state of parents facing their children's eatingNot persecutive, not impatient, not rude, go with the flow and deal with it wisely.

When parents relax, children are less competitive.

Respect your child's physical routine.

(1) Listen to your child's hunger signalsThe vast majority of children who do not eat well are caused by improper feeding behavior by their parents.

Every child has their own rhythm of eating. When they indicate that they are not hungry, they do not have to be forced to eat.

Hunger pangs drive them to seek out food naturally.

Trust their bodies and give them the freedom to choose.

(2) Encourage children to eat independentlyAs your child learns to eat, he or she may get food all over the place, or even use food as a toy.

But remember, it's a way for them to explore and grow.

Give them patience and encouragement so that they can gradually master the skills of eating in practice.

(3) Integrate learning and playFor children, play and learning go hand in hand.

They explore the world through play, but also find joy in learning.

Even if your child acts like they're playing while eating, keep an open and inclusive mindset and let them learn by playing, learning while playing, and enjoy the joy of growth.

When eating is no longer expected too much, it becomes a time of pure happiness.

May our children let go of all restraints and pressure at the table, and greet every bite of food with a smile and joy.

May every family enjoy that simple and sincere happiness at the dining table, let love and food intertwine, and warm our hearts.

May the food on the plate be not only nutritious, but also a transmission of love.

We wantBelieve that every child has their own rhythm and wayWith enough love and support, they can find their own path.
