Many mothers are helpless with their foodie babies.

Among all kinds of tastes, babies’ taste buds are very pure. They can’t tolerate the latter two of the sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy tastes. Their sour tolerance is questionable. Some babies are born with a preference for sour foods, while others are unable to tolerate sour tastes.

As for sweet food, they cannot resist it, especially desserts and candies. In their eyes, they are delicacies in the world, and they must stuff them into their mouths as soon as they see them.

Food rewards are very suitable for babies

Starting to add complementary foods to babies at 6 months old opens up their taste buds and begins to explore all the delicious food in the world. Of course, what they can accept cannot be over-processed or over-seasoned. The fresher the ingredients, the better.

Of course, most babies will become snackers. They can't control their saliva and desire when people around them eat. They want to eat a little and try it. Even if they can't accept the taste after eating it, it doesn't matter.

Many mothers will take the opportunity to take advantage of this characteristic of their babies and turn food rewards into a way to restrain their babies' behavior. For example, if you go to school well, your mother will reward you with an ice cream, and if you don't quarrel with your children, your mother will buy you candy after school. The exchange of conditions like

is insignificant in the eyes of us adults, or even not attractive at all, but for children, these conditions can completely make them obey. Who makes them unable to buy and meet their own needs?

When a child stares at other people’s food and wants to eat, smart mothers do this, which is very helpful to the child.

A colleague complained to me one day that when he took his child out to play on the weekend, he did something that made him very embarrassed. Thinking about it afterwards, I thought it was a huge embarrassing scene, and I wished I could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

The cause of the incident was that a colleague took his son to the park to play. At noon, because the temperature was too high, the food prepared by the colleague was all eaten. The child was hungry but had nothing to eat. While the colleague was looking for food and trying to find a way, the son I ran to the nearby family and watched them eating.

A strange woman saw that her son was so greedy that she wanted to give him food. Her colleague felt very embarrassed and immediately dragged her son away. She didn’t know whether she didn’t control her strength or was angry because her son didn’t eat the food. There was a big fuss for a long time.

After listening to my colleague’s description, I could immediately picture the scene in my mind. Although it was a trivial matter, my son’s unreserved behavior made my colleagues make a fuss and even began to question their own education methods and concepts. Is there something wrong?

Smart mother: Stop the child’s “begging” behavior

For babies, their behavior of begging for food does not contain too much thought activity. The main reason is that they feel hungry and the other party happens to have food and is willing to Give it to me, so why can’t I accept it?

But this behavior cannot be so simple in the eyes of the mother. First of all, the child does not have enough safety awareness. Food from strangers is actually a safety hazard. How many abducted children lose because of their greed!

Secondly, this child did not distinguish between himself and strangers. If he can clearly understand the boundaries between himself and the outside world, he will know that these foods belong to other people and he cannot covet or covet them.

Finally, the child did not seek the mother’s opinion before accepting the other party’s food, which also shows that his sense of rules is not strong. To ignore everything and not consider anything because your body has needs is also a disregard and disrespect for your mother.

In this way, the mother must stop the child's behavior and tell the child with her own clear attitude that such behavior is unreasonable and incorrect, and that similar situations will not be allowed to happen again in the future. If you tolerate it once and twice, it is very likely that the child will develop bad behavioral habits and sow trouble for future development.

After the child realizes his mistake, the mother should immediately tell the child that the mother knows that your feelings are painful, but the mother will immediately find a way to help you solve it and give the child a sufficient sense of security.
