The phenomenon of picky eating among children continued for several years, but when they were 5 years old, their appetite suddenly increased. This is the result of the increase in the growth rate of children. In another three years, the average weight of normal children will increase by 5.59-7.46 kg. This change is not accidental and you will not notice it immediately. You don’t feel that your child has gained weight due to increased appetite until the child’s clothes are not worn. At this time, there is no need to cook special meals for the children. If the meals eaten by other members of the family maintain a balanced nutrition, a 5-year-old child can eat it. Children generally don't like to eat strong seasonings. Most of them are willing to eat carrots, celery, cucumbers and other vegetables. Fresh fruit contains important nutrients, and it is as popular with children as fruit juice.
At this age, your children love to eat sweets more, so you need to be in control. Milk is still an integral part of children's drinks, but in the early stages of bone growth, it should not be consumed in excess. 1-2 cups a day is enough. If you drink too much, milk will accumulate in your body, which will affect your child's inhalation of other more important nutrients. Generally, skim milk is enough. Although you still want to continue to give your child vitamin tablets, if he (she) eats food with balanced nutrients, it will be superfluous. If there is no fluoride in the water in your residential area, you can continue to give your child fluoride pills.
5-year-old children's play time may conflict with the meal time. Sometimes they ate hungrily while running, thinking about playing with other children in their hearts. You even have to tie him (her) to a chair so that you can have a serious meal. Some children come back to find something to eat if they have enough time outside. You should insist that your child eat on time, but as soon as he (she) finishes eating, allow him (her) to leave. Time planning Life in kindergarten takes up a lot of children's time, but you should not change this lifestyle. 5-year-old children still need to rest, eat regularly, and have a schedule for participating in activities. Sleep time is gradually decreasing, but most children sleep about 10 hours at night. Because the time in kindergarten is always the same, the sleep time at home should also be fixed. A 5-year-old child should usually go to bed at 8:30 pm and get up at 7 am. If the child sleeps in the kindergarten in the afternoon, the bedtime can be delayed accordingly.
In the morning, you should arrange enough time for your children to eat well before going to kindergarten. As for the children participating in the afternoon class, before they go to kindergarten, they should be called in from outside in advance to take a rest. After returning from kindergarten, they also need to rest quietly, just like adults need to relax after a day of work. Children entering kindergarten also means participating in many activities. Many 5-year-old children participated in craft classes, and some signed up to learn music or swimming. These activities encourage children to go in and broaden their horizons. But don't let your children do this kind of activity all day long. For most children, participating in two activities is sufficient.
