"Baby, mom has prepared your favorite meal, you must eat more."
"Son, you only ate so little, how can you grow taller?"
"Baby, only by eating more and eating more vegetables can you have the strength to play with others."
There is a kind of love called "Mom and grandma think you are hungry." I didn’t understand this sentence before, but after becoming a mother, I realized that this sentence is so true, and it is a portrayal of almost 90% of families.
all say that Chinese parents are very reserved. When they express love, they will use actions instead of words. In the eyes of these parents, letting their children eat more is a way of expressing love. So, the kids are either eating or on their way to eat.
In the end, love has become a burden. Looking at their increasingly fat bodies, I wonder what their parents think? Overfeeding affects not only children's physical health, but also their mental health. Because you are fat, you will inevitably be laughed at by others, which really affects your mood.
These signals are all reminders to parents: Refuse to overfeed
1 and develop flatulence
If children eat too much, they are likely to develop flatulence and indigestion. If the belly is bulging, like a watermelon, and it will make a "bang bang" sound when knocked, it means that the child has eaten too much. At this time, if you continue to eat, it will be a burden on the child's stomach.
2, burping vomiting
For young children, they don’t know how to express themselves. If they eat too much, they will burp and vomit, or even splash vomiting. Under normal circumstances, a child's sucking and swallowing speed should be directly proportional.
3. Irregular stools
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "you will poop as much as you eat". Part of the food eaten in the stomach will be absorbed by the body, and part of it will be metabolized. If the stool is irregular or even constipated frequently, it means that the child is overfeeding.
Old people often say: Being able to eat is a blessing. But the premise is to eat healthily and not burden the body. To put it bluntly, overfeeding consumes the child's health. Once gastrointestinal problems occur, it is likely to accompany the child throughout his life.
For the sake of the child's health, these feeding tips should be kept away.
1. Add complementary foods regularly
Starting from the age of six months, children will add complementary foods. Pay special attention to this stage. The addition of complementary foods is very particular. It is not "the more the better" as parents think, because the child's gastrointestinal needs to adapt. Most complementary foods start with rice noodles and go from thin to thick.
Every other week, you can add one more complementary food, and the consistency of the complementary food can also be gradually increased. During this process, it is also necessary to observe the child's physical changes at all times to see how his appetite is and how his digestion ability is. In short, good dining habits should be developed from the re-examination stage.
2. Do not replace main meals with snacks
As a child grows older, his requirements for food will increase, and snacks have become an indispensable part of life. When it comes to eating snacks, many parents are relatively open-minded and will try their best to choose snacks that they think are healthy and without additives for their children.
There is one thing you need to understand: snacks can never replace the main meal. Even if the child keeps crying, he will never compromise. The so-called snacks are just foods that can replenish energy between meals. By the way, you also need to control the amount of snacks, otherwise if you eat too many additives, it will easily grow horizontally.
3. Establish dining rules
Every family should have a detailed set of dining rules for children to follow. It’s time to correct those bad eating habits of chasing after feeding, otherwise parents will suffer the same consequences in the end. is still the same sentence: Since the child does not want to eat, it means that he is not hungry for the time being, and there is no need to chase after him.
dining rules include many aspects: eating by yourself, no watching TV, no running around, and no picky eaters.Take the matter of eating by yourself. Many parents always dislike their children for eating too dirty and do not give them a chance. As a result, the three-year-old child simply did not learn to eat on his own.
4. Provide a good dining atmosphere
Some parents like to preach every time they eat. Maybe they are too busy and can only get along with their children during meal time. But parents forget one thing. If they criticize or reprimand their children during meals, it can easily affect their appetite and cause discomfort.
Even the child will resist eating, and will reject and reject it wholeheartedly whenever eating is mentioned in the future. Because they do not feel the happiness brought by eating, but are wrapped up in all kinds of unhappy negative emotions. How can they fall in love with eating and eat well?
is written at the end: There are many ways to love. It can be a warm hug, an extension of encouragement, or a word of affirmation. However, it is definitely not all kinds of "persuading people to eat", because if you eat too much and , you are consuming your health. Instead of persuading children to eat more, it is better to let them exercise more.
