Seven Tips To Train Children To Eat Vegetables

Recently many young parents have consulted me: Baby at home (between 1 and 6 years old), they always eat meat, they refuse to eat without meat, and they never let go of their meat. Often see the baby eat so much meat feel worried, afraid of what problems will eat. Other babies often eat meat instead of eating. They don't eat any vegetables at all. They don't want to eat vegetables when they see vegetables. Parents really can't help him. And my child loves vegetables since childhood, and now there are no vegetables at all. How can children love to eat vegetables? There are several secrets for you to share.

1, prepare for rainy days during pregnancy.

Expectant mothers develop a balanced diet during pregnancy. No partial eclipse No picky food, "eat vegetables, fruit every day", every day to ensure a pound of vegetables half a kilogram of fruit, choose more dark color vegetables, especially dark green leafy vegetables. For some children may not like vegetables (such as carrots, balsam pear, celery, leafy vegetables, etc.) may also be consumed consciously. Let the baby fall in love with the taste of vegetables in the mother's stomach.

2 vegetables gruel to cultivate taste

After the baby 6 month old added the supplementary food, the way I take is to cook the porridge regularly. In small casseroles, add rice, water and deoiling soup to simmer slowly. When the porridge is quickly cooked, add the chopped pork fillet (sometimes chopped pork liver or chicken liver). Chopped the vegetables (especially green leafy vegetables) into the congee when the pot is out of the pot. The proportion is usually half porridge, no salt, only one or two drops of soy sauce. Vegetable varieties Change every day. The baby's taste is a piece of white paper, which is cultivated by adults.

3 vegetable grinding habits

After the baby is one year old, the deciduous teeth grow a lot. Every day, we plan to wash the vegetables, such as cucumber, carrot, celery, colorful peppers and other raw vegetables, and cut them into coarse strips, so that the children can eat them with their hands. The crisp taste and sweet taste can satisfy their feeling of chewing and chewing at any time, and can also cultivate children's good habit of eating vegetables. But we should pay attention to parental guardianship and not allow children to swallow large pieces of vegetables to avoid suffocation.

4 vegetables can not be removed.

After chopping the vegetables with the meat and the stuffing, it is made of dumplings, bun or pies to make the vegetables become invisible and easy to go into the stomach. Vegetables can also be chopped or mashed and put into the noodles, made into various cakes, or mixed with sweet and sour fruits into a mixer to produce fruit juice.

5 write stories and tailor them.

Babies generally love to listen to stories. Parents are advised to tailor stories for children who do not like vegetables. For example, popcorn eats spinach, little white rabbit who likes carrots and vegetables, eats beans and meat and so on. At any time, it is effective for ordinary children. Before meals, you can also explain to children the nutritional value of various dishes and their effects on baby's physical development. Usually try to minimize children's snacks, and let their children take part in physical exercise. Children's progress in eating vegetables should be encouraged in time to enhance their self-confidence.

6 buy vegetables and cook children.

Every time you go to a supermarket or a vegetable market to buy vegetables, you'd better take the children and pick them out of your favorite vegetables. When cooking, they can also help them, such as choosing dishes, cleaning and so on, so that children can participate in it. Especially when you eat your own vegetables, your baby will be very excited and easy to feel proud. You will feel very fragrant when you eat your vegetables. Of course, parents should also pay attention to cooking techniques and methods when cooking. Because children are young, their teeth are not well developed and their chewing ability is poor. Special attention should be paid to color matching and changing patterns so as to arouse children's appetite.

7 set an example by example.

Many children do not like vegetables because their parents do not like it too. Children's parents should set an example and play an example role. They should not be choosy when they eat. It's not because children don't like to eat certain kinds of vegetables, they don't cook that kind of food anymore. For example, when my child tried to eat bitter gourd when he was three years old, we would eat the bitter gourd scrambled eggs, praise the taste of the dishes, and add the benefits of balsam pear. Children usually have the idea of trying at this time. I tell him that it will be a little bitter, but after suffering is very comfortable, encourage him to give it a try. Of course, if a child really does not want to eat a certain dish, do not force him to avoid crying while eating. Once eating a bad habit of eating, it will affect children's physical and mental health. Let children eat with pleasure.

In short, young parents should take a little love and patience when caring for their children, and insist that their children should have a comprehensive and enjoyable diet and develop good eating habits from childhood. Promote children's physical and mental health growth and benefit them all the time.
