What will happen to a child who has been strictly controlled on snacks?
People, what you desire but can't get will be deeply rooted in your heart and become a permanent regret.
research found that children who eat snacks are happier and more tolerant. Children who are forbidden to eat snacks are less happy and less tolerant. Why is this?
Eating delicious food is actually a kind of nature. Children who have been prohibited from eating snacks may snatch snacks from other children without the supervision of their family members, and slowly they will have no friends!
Regarding this issue, let me share my opinion: Does not restricting it mean doing nothing? Of course this doesn't work either.
I used to have a deep anxiety about snacks, and I always strictly controlled the number of snacks my children ate.
As soon as my daughter starts eating snacks, I start to pay attention to how much she eats, such as candy. When she eats the first snack, I won't say anything, but as soon as she starts eating the second and third snacks, I can't sit still and start nagging and accusing her. The result of
control is that when my daughter goes to other people's houses to play, her eyes will light up when she sees snacks. As long as I am not around, she will start eating binge mode.
When I saw my child like this, I began to reflect: My child is now small and can be controlled (but it will also cause her to feel deprived). When she gets older and we can't control her, she may eat in a vengeful way.
First of all, I felt that the child always wanted to eat snacks because he was not full, so I started to cook at least one dish that the child particularly liked for every meal. Sure enough, after eating half a bowl more than before, the frequency of craving for snacks was much lower.
Later, I bought a box specifically for my child to hold snacks, and we bought some snacks that she liked together with her, as well as relatively healthy snacks that I found. Since I bought the snack box for my child, she no longer has such a strong desire to eat when she sees the snacks. Because she knows that she has so many snacks, they all belong to her, and if she is not lacking in her heart, she will not eat them desperately when she has snacks.
Next, I frankly told my child that I was worried about her eating snacks, and discussed with her the number and time of eating snacks every day, which can satisfy her cravings and prevent her mother from worrying too much. After making an agreement, the child usually eats snacks according to the agreed number of times, and what I need to do is trust my child and tell myself that snacks are not as scary as I thought.
Of course, each family’s children have different temperaments and temperaments, and different strategies must be developed for each individual.
Do your children like to eat snacks? How do you deal with your children eating snacks?
