Hello everyone, I am a "baby all the way" who has accompanied my children all the way~

My husband took out a bottle of drink while the children were sleeping. He finished it quickly, still not feeling satisfied, and went to get the ice cream again.

Unexpectedly, my husband took it out and took a bite when he heard Lulu getting up. He hurriedly hid on the balcony and tried to eliminate it quickly and gulp.

Lu Lu thought his father was playing hide and seek with him, so he ran to the balcony. My husband couldn't dodge, and the child found him eating ice cream...

I said to my husband: Why are you doing this? I have been giving endless instructions all day not to let my children drink ice water or eat cold drinks, but I am holding on to ice watermelon, ice beer, and ice cream all day long and secretly eating it. This is unreasonable!

Although I don’t object to my children eating cold drinks, my husband always comes up with a lot of “reasonable” reasons to restrict their children from eating cold drinks. Seeing my husband's embarrassment about being "caught in the act" and the pitiful look in my child's eyes, I felt really bad.

What concerns do the parents of children who have been restricted from eating cold drinks since childhood have?

Eating cold drinks is not a scourge, but why do many parents not allow it? Their concerns may seem to be for the good of their children, but they are actually a bit ill-considered.

① Worried about the child having diarrhea after eating cold drinks

On hot days, my husband would boil a pot of hot water every day, saying that he would give the child more warm water so that his stomach would be comfortable. But the problem is, in a hot weather of 40 degrees, adults can't drink even water at room temperature. Isn't this embarrassing for children?

Once I asked my husband: "Have you ever had diarrhea after eating cold drinks?" My husband shook his head. In this case, why do we conclude that children will definitely have diarrhea? My husband hesitated for a long time and couldn't figure out why.

In fact, there are many reasons for children to have diarrhea. We often take our children to see a doctor and we have a general understanding of them. But it should be clear that this situation does not distinguish between seasons. It does not mean that stomachache only occurs in summer.

Therefore, parents should analyze the problem objectively and do not worry blindly.

② Parents are worried about their children eating too much sweet things

We all know that most children are more attached to sweet cold drinks, such as ice cream, soft drinks, iced watermelon, etc. Therefore, my husband is worried that the child will eat too much sweet food, which is not good for the body and teeth.

As everyone knows, children eating cold drinks cannot replace staple food. As long as parents insist on cooking for their children, they can basically ensure the body's nutritional balance.

After I dispelled my husband's concerns, he no longer restricted the children from eating cold drinks. Moreover, the child has been exposed to cold drinks for so long and has not developed the symptoms that the husband was worried about.

In addition, Lu Lu no longer has to envy other children for eating cold drinks, and her personality has become much more confident and lively.

There is a big gap between children who are allowed to eat cold drinks by their parents and children who have been restricted from childhood.

Some parents, like my husband, have restricted their children from eating cold drinks since they were young. There are also parents who allow their children to eat cold drinks and enjoy a variety of cold delicacies, thus spending a summer without any regrets.

So, what are the differences between children who are allowed to eat cold drinks by their parents and children who have been restricted from childhood? Parents should be aware of the following three aspects.

① Inferiority mentality, feeling inferior to others

In the past, my husband would not let Lu Lu eat cold drinks, so whenever the children saw other children eating ice cream, they would ask: "Why can others eat it?" The children's eyes showed envy, like Being inferior to others is very distressing.

I immediately took the child to let him choose any ice cream. The child's face showed a happy expression and his eyes were full of light. No matter what happens later, he will deal with with confidence.

It is obviously a cold drink that is readily available and will not increase the burden on the family. However, parents restrict it everywhere. This can easily cause children to develop an inferiority complex and feel inferior to others.

② Close the door of communication with parents

When children see others eating cold drinks but they are not allowed, they will have random thoughts: Do my parents not love me?

Misunderstandings like this one accumulate too many times, and children will distrust their parents, and may even develop a vindictive mentality and be too lazy to communicate with their parents about everything.

It is obviously because of the unhappiness caused by being restricted from eating cold drinks, but the child will vent it in other places, such as "I don't want dad to pick me up or drop me off." The key is that parents don't know the reason why their children reject them, and they insist that the children are making trouble unreasonably.

Because children are allowed to eat cold drinks, they close the door to communication with their parents, which is not conducive to the establishment of a good parent-child relationship.

③ Children who often eat cold drinks should pay attention to weight control

A considerable number of cold drinks have high sugar content, especially drinks and ice cream, so children who eat too much can easily become fat.

Therefore, children who often eat cold drinks need to pay attention to weight control. If they are not aware that temporary cravings will lead to obesity and affect their normal life, it will be a bit more gain than loss.

This requires parents to supervise and warn their children that cold drinks cannot replace staple foods and should be exercised in moderation.

In summary, parents may be worried about their children out of good intentions, but if there is no reasonable explanation or sufficient reason, or if you are unable to avoid eating cold drinks, you should not stop your children . In many cases, parents don't have to worry too much. As long as they are restrained, there will be no worries.
