My Kid won't eat (Food Refusal)
Many children may go through phases of refusing to eat certain foods (food fads). This is a normal stage in young children. Food refusal is a way of showing independence.
It might be worrying to you as a parent. But your children will not harm themselves if they don't eat enough for a short while.
What should I do as a parent ?
- Don't force your child to eat!
- Provide only regular meals and snacks. (Young children need 3 meals and 2-3 nutritious snacks per day) - For Example - Fruits, Milk, Biscuits, Small
- Don't give Milk instead of Food.
- Don't give snacks closer to meal times.
- Have Dinner together as a family.
- Present food in an attractive way !!!
- Encourage children to play with food. they need to feel the texture of food. Don't worry about mess.
- Watch what you eat. Because Children may imitate you!
- Give at least 2 choices of food to your Kid.
- Don't show your anger if your children don't eat.
- Praise the Kid if he/she eats.
Happy Children's Day
