My children don't eat well, what do I do?

Today, we bring you some proposals to generate good eating habits in children. If your children don't eat well, keep reading.

If your children don’t eat well, we will tell you something. Your diet is the example that your children will follow, take care of yourself and take care of them. “We no longer know what to do to get him to eat, we’ve tried everything!” If you’ve ever said this, don’t stop reading. Mealtime is, for many parents, a true nightmare. The table becomes a battlefield where parents and children face each other in an arm wrestling match to see who will win: will they eat or not eat? It is not just a power struggle but the true concern of parents about their children’s nutrition and how to generate good eating habits. Studies Recent studies show that the way we parents handle the situation will have a lot to do with what our children eat. That is to say, depending on how we approach them, we can positively or negatively influence their eating habits. Today, we bring you some proposals to generate good eating habits in children… Proposals We are their example: imitation is the resource par excellence that our children use to know how to behave… Do we send a good nutritional message to our children if we do not eat healthily? Of course not… If we want them to eat vegetables, we must eat them. What do they think? If we give them the opportunity to choose, they will enjoy a little control that benefits us: “Do you prefer turkey or tuna?” In this way, we will avoid falling into the trap of preparing different dishes for each member of the family and we will make our little ones see that their opinion is important. Let’s be realistic: if they decide not to eat and put obstacles in the way, don’t worry, so be it. They won’t starve before the next meal. If they start to feel hungry re, they will also begin to understand the consequences of not eating. Positive vision: did you know that our children need to have contact with the new food between 10 and 15 times for it to be accepted? Be patient and don’t give up. Avoid getting too elated when they make the move or feeling frustrated when they don’t. It’s all about patience. Everyone has their role: who hasn’t melted when their little one made a sweet face at them to ask for a croissant? Despite this, we must keep in mind that one of our goals as parents is for them to enjoy a healthy and balanced diet and industrial products provide too many unhealthy fats. What if we prepare a healthy and fun snack together?
