What is it that I don’t want or how to accustom a child to a healthy diet?

In order for the child to actively grow and develop, it must be provided with a balanced diet. Sounds clever? In fact, everything is simple – it is enough to eat fresh vegetables, fruits, cereals, eggs, dairy products, meat and fish.

But what if the culinary exploits of the mother are ignored, and attempts to instill in the child a love of healthy food rest on the reinforced concrete “I do not want”?

We talked about baby food with nutritionist FoodEx, Natalia Fedorenko. Let’s go through the most exciting questions – what to do….

If the child does not eat vegetables?

It is vegetables that should occupy most of the daily diet. What if the child refuses vegetables? First of all, do not force the child to eat them. It is necessary to find out what is the reason for the refusal? Suggest alternatives.

A universal recommendation is to deprive the child of snacks, to establish and maintain a diet. In addition, not only taste qualities are important for children, but also the appearance of the dish. Try to arrange food festive, beautiful.

You can cheat and grind your favorite with unloved vegetables in the form of mashed soup, create a vegetable “burger” with whole-grain bread rolls or add to homemade sauces (vegetable salsa, spinach sauce, tomato or mushroom sauce with greens).

If the child does not eat meat or fish – what to replace?

Again, it is worth finding out the reason why the child does not like meat or fish products. Maybe it’s a view, a smell or just a childish whim. In this case, try to “disguise” these products – grind or grind. For example stew, pancakes, muffins or pate.

If even in this case your child refuses animal protein, products that are not inferior to meat and fish dishes will come to the rescue. They are also rich in amino acids, vitamins and minerals. They can be safely attributed: eggs, offal, milk, dairy products, legumes and nuts.

If the child does not eat breakfast?

The most common reasons for reluctance are diseases, lack of regime, stressful situation or just a bad mood. Do not try to force to eat by force or threats!

If your child does not eat breakfast, but he is absolutely healthy, mobile, active – stop worrying! So, this mode suits her.

If the child eats too much sweet?

Many believe that a person from early childhood is “programmed” to love sweets, but this is not so! Rather, the parents themselves are “programmed” for the fact that children need sweets. Sweet can calm and cheer up… What only is this method of encouragement! Without noticing it, from early childhood we form a carbohydrate dependence in a child, a tendency to inflammatory processes and diabetes mellitus…

Do not abuse sugars! I recommend eating no more than 5-10% of the daily diet in the form of sweets from dried fruits, marshmallows, marshmallows, marmalade, dark chocolate, whole grain cookies with nuts. Yes, scantily, but only in so many delicacies can be harmless.

I know it’s hard to admit to yourself that we are the parents doing something wrong. But very often, appetite disorders and the formation of bad taste habits occur from such arbitrary sweet snacks and “motif” in the form of delicacies.
