From an early age at PP: Belgorod residents were told how to form the right eating habits in a child

Every day is a confrontation if the parent wants to force the child to eat porridge for breakfast, soup for lunch and vegetables for dinner, and he reaches for chocolate and fast food in bright packaging. So how do we solve this challenge?

Where do your feet grow

Since birth, because of the mother’s breast milk, everyone has a craving for sweet taste. But the craving for vegetables, greens, salty, spicy or sour is an experience gained from life. And if parents, instead of trying to offer a child healthy food, give him cookies or porridge with sugar, they form a stereotype “healthy food is stress, and sweet food is joy.” Therefore, it is necessary to introduce the baby to whole foods from an early age.

A total ban is not an option either. So the child only grows more craving for the “forbidden fruit”. Instead, you can try to come up with a more useful analog of junk food. For example, compote instead of soda or homemade chips.

It is also important how parents behave. If the adults themselves eat wrong, the child will not start.

What should be on the plate?

The expert called one simple rule: the brighter and more varied the child’s nutrition – the better. On the plate should be regularly:

How do you form a habit?

One of the tips shared by Evgenia Tiunova is a joint meal. For a child, it will be an emotional nourishment that builds the necessary associations with healthy food.

It is also better to remove sweets in the apartment away, on the upper shelves or deep into the cabinet. And leave in a prominent place, for example, fruits or nuts. Over time, the child will begin to snack on what is “at hand”.
