Why children are picky eaters

Children's own factors: 1. After the child is 1 year old, his or her sense of self begins to develop rapidly, and he shows a strong sense of independence and likes everything"I'll do it myself"They resist some of the food arrangements given to them by adults and insist on eating according to their own wishes, so they skip eating when it is time to eat and continue to do what they want to do.

3. Out of the innate self-protection function, in order to avoid some new food to hurt themselves, they will refuse some new food or accept some new food slowly and in small quantities.

4. Children with different temperaments will also have different reactions to new food, for example, easy children will quickly accept a new food, and like to taste new things, but there will also be the problem of liking the new and hating the old, for some children with difficult temperament, they are very sensitive to new things, and it is difficult for them to accept a new food, so it is difficult for such children to diversify their food. For children with a slow temperament, they are slower to accept new things, so they are slower to accept new foods, and they eat slowly, often acting indifferent to food as if they can eat it or not.

Parents and family factors: 1. Parents ignore the cultivation of children's normal eating habits, are too accommodating and laissez-faire to children, children do not develop a fixed place to eat, and parents chase after feeding, which promotes the bad habit of picky eating in children.

2. Parents consciously or unconsciously show their preference for a certain food in front of their children, and children are influenced by the awareness of picky eating and naturally imitate it.

3. Parents pay too much attention to their children's bodies and often force their children to eat certain nutritious foods, which causes their children to be disgusted with these foods.

4. In the stage of adding complementary food, parents do not pay attention to giving their children a variety of foods, so that the children's sense of taste is not suitable for many foods and does not accept, for example, adding complementary foods too late causes children to only like liquid or pasty food, and do not like hard food. Adding complementary foods too early can easily cause children to be allergic, so artificially refuse some foods, resulting in monotonous nutrition.

5. The picky eating of mothers during pregnancy and lactation also causes some children's preferences for certain foods. This is because the taste of food can be passed from breast milk or amniotic fluid to children.

6. Failure to develop good eating habits and lack of interest in eating.

7. The atmosphere of the meal is not good, the parents put too much pressure on the children, overemphasizing the children to eat more, or the parents watch TV and talk about the east and west to interfere with the children's eating.

8. The type of food and the production method are single, and some parents do not only make meals for their children, which are too rough, tasteful, and single, which can not arouse the child's appetite and cause the rejection of the meal.

9. I usually eat a lot of snacks and am not interested in meals.

Disease: After the child is sick, it affects the function of the digestive system, such as slowing down intestinal peristalsis, less secretion of digestive juices, and less secretion of salivary glands, which will naturally cause a decrease in appetite, which is also a self-protection mechanism for children. For example, deficiencies in certain nutrients can also cause children to be picky eaters or picky eaters, such as zinc deficiency.

Break down the food and crumble it in preparation for swallowing. Among them, the ability of the mouth muscles includes the stability of the mandible, the rhythmic chewing function, the lateral transfer of the tongue, and the upward and rotating functions, which work together to help us eat the whole food. They will resist some of the food arrangements given to them by adults, and insist on eating according to their own wishes.

It is because in infancy and toddlerhood, parents fail to add some necessary complementary foods to their children in time, such as simply feeding their children or eating relatively simple eggs, resulting in children not being "cold" to all kinds of vegetables and other foods, resulting in children being picky eaters. It can only be said that you think your child is a picky eater, and you think that you are not a picky eater. This is likely to be the same as everyone said, because the choice of buying food is in the hands of adults, and when they make it, they also make it according to the standard that they think is good.

For example, pasta for breakfast, rice for lunch, and porridge for dinner, but you can change the pattern. There are many kinds of noodles in China, and every day for a week, you can ensure that your breakfast is not repeated, so as to awaken your child's taste buds as much as possible. The porridge in the evening is the same, changing every day.

But let him taste other foods. Even if they don't like to try new things, expose your child to a wide variety of tastes. You also have to think about giving your child autonomy and letting him make his own meals, which will make him excited and can't wait to finish his meal.

Therefore, parents don't have to worry too much about picky eaters, unless it has caused the baby's body nutrition to be unbalanced, generally don't be too anxious. And the more the parents force it, the more the child will not eat, and the result is a vicious circle. It is easy for children to play while eating, or watch TV while eating, and not pay attention to eating.

Or eat for a while, then go to play for a while, then eat for a while, play for a while, etc., it is easy to distract the child's attention, and the child will be picky eater and not eat well.

You can ask your child why he doesn't like to eat such food, because of the taste or some other reason, the second is to tell them that picky eating is a bad habit and will be hated by the mother, and finally it is necessary to change the things that the child doesn't like to eat, you can squeeze it into juice for the child to drink, or make it into a bun.

It is the doting of parents, because children have some things that they don't like to eat, parents always feel that it is very normal, and in the long run, it will cause children to be picky eaters, in fact, picky eating also has an impact on the child's body, so when feeding the child, we must achieve balanced nutrition, do not let the child be picky eater.

It is because the food cooked by parents is not very tasty, in this case, children will gradually become very picky, and the most important thing parents should do is to educate their children in this regard, so that children can form a good eating habits.

Many children have a picky eating habit because they are not interested in certain foods or have an aversion to them, so they do not need to force them to eat them.

Because the child is not used to these meals after weaning, it may also be because the food tastes unpalatable, or because the child's stomach does not absorb them.

This is because parents spoil their child too much and do not discipline him seriously, so he has a bad habit of picky eating and pays attention to timely improvement.

With the continuous development of social economy and the continuous progress of science and technology, our living standards have been improved to a certain extent, and people's education is getting higher and higher, and the education of their children is becoming more and more important. So in the process of educating children, we will inevitably encounter all kinds of problems, so the more common is that children have a bad habit of picky eating. So how should mothers deal with this situation?

First of all, for this situation, the most effective method, that is, language education, must make children aware of the importance of food, and realize the importance of balanced nutrition. You can talk to them and tell them that if the nutrition is not balanced, then our height will be limited, we will be shorter than other children, and this is a shameful thing, etc., to tell children that this is not right.

Therefore, when we find that our children have the bad problem of picky eating, we must correct them in time and educate them that you must have a correct attitude, which is a very important thing. And we all know that picky eating for children, then the impact is still very huge, because when children are young, the demand for various nutrients is very large, if the nutrition is not balanced, then to a certain extent, the physical intelligence will have a more or less impact, so we must pay attention to this.

In addition, in the process of cultivating children, we must pay attention to some behaviors of parents, if parents themselves have picky eating behavior, then to a certain extent, it will induce children to have picky eating behavior, so in this regard, our parents must do a good job of role model, must not be picky eaters, so this is very important.

According to the practice of our kindergarten, if the child has a bad habit of picky eating, we will often put the dishes she does not eat in his bowl first, and inform him that if you want to eat other dishes, you need to finish the dishes you don't eat before you can eat anything else, and at the same time, we will also tell him what benefits this dish has for the body, for example, it will enhance our body's willpower, and it will also make us grow taller, so that our ** becomes very good.

Baby picky eater is often like to eat food contains nutrients that are beneficial to the baby, the mother should make a variety of meals, the baby is full, do not like to eat things, feed a small amount, at the same time to ensure a pack of milk every day, but also to increase the amount of exercise, to promote the baby's energy consumption, so that the appetite is good.

You can change the appearance of the food, make the food more interesting, attract the attention of the child, and also need to let the baby and the parents eat together can also enhance the relationship, but also let the baby participate in the cooking process to experience the fun of eating, you can also let the baby and other children eat together.

Mothers can gradually correct their children's picky eating habits through rewards. As long as the child is not a picky eater, you can give the child a certain reward. Help your child gradually develop the habit of not being picky eaters.

Changing the appearance of food is one of the ways to correct picky eating in children. Many children are picky eaters because they don't want to try something again after eating something once, so parents may wish to change the appearance of the food so that the children can eat the food unconsciously.

To correct his picky eater in time, you can change the pattern of food, children are very curious about new things, to cultivate a correct concept of nutrition for children.

Children are picky eaters, and the mother wants to change the child's situation, that is, she can wrap the kind of vegetables that he does not eat in the dumplings, and the child will not recognize it, and then he may eat it.

The mother should criticize the child and tell the child not to be a picky eater, so that he will not grow taller, and then he will become very thin, and the picky eater is not a good child

The main reason for this phenomenon is that the child usually has too many snacks, so the main approach is to reduce the child's snacks and slowly cultivate his eating habits.

The mother should make a lot of food in different patterns and make it more beautiful, so that the child will eat it and he will not be a picky eater.

The so-called "eat whatever you want, don't eat what is not suitable for your appetite" is often a picky eater in the eyes of parents! In this way, the biggest excuse for parents to defend themselves is that picky eating will cause insufficient nutritional value, which will affect health! The attractiveness of a food to people can be divided into the following parts: sensory attraction (also known as color and aroma), which is related to your cooking level!

Psychological attraction at the level of nutritional value (what vitamins, all kinds of bizarre things) (the artistic value of a piece of food attracts you, on the contrary, some bad experiences in the past will also cause you to be anorexic).

It can be seen from this that most people's picky eaters are actually picky eaters on the sensory level, and a person's taste is not a rational thing, but an irrational thing! Especially immature children, they can't attract some nutritional value beyond the sensory level! This taste issue doesn't quite make sense, but it makes sense!

If you let a child completely lose their favorite taste and pursue the nutritional value in your eyes, will it be a sign of your incompetence in cooking? Or is it because your parents have a poor ability to deal with problems and don't know how to balance sensory value with scientific nutritional value?

Many times picky eating itself is not a problem, unless it is pathological. But this phenomenon has become a problem on the minds of most self-righteous parents. As a result, parents often ask their children to ditch what they love to eat and are forced to eat what their parents think is nutritious, which tastes nothing at all for these children!

The children of these families live in a situation where they completely give up their favorite foods, fulfilling the task of nutritional value outside of the senses arranged by their parents. I'm really worried about the quality of these children's spiritual life!

Don't scold your baby when he doesn't eat well, you know, to develop a good habit for your baby, you must first give them a good environment. So give your baby a warm and comfortable eating environment, don't force your child, don't put pressure on them! If parents reprimand their babies for not eating well, they will be even more reluctant to eat.

Even if they eat it, it's like chewing wax, which is not only tasteless, but also affects the absorption of nutrients. Also, forcing children to eat can easily cause food to accumulate and then vomit. The shape of the food can affect your baby's appetite.
