SPECIALIST’S RECOMMENDATION

How can you teach a young child eating without choosing food?

Children's doctor Mirkomil OTAXOJIEV answers to several questions in this series:

- Many children often eat foods that are pleasing to them and refuse to eat food rich in vitamins and vegetables. What you should do in such a situation?

- Disorders for many years have been worsened by children's eating habits. More than 20 percent of children eat food choosing, and five percent are slightly heavier than age.Vitamins are given to such children in most cases.

First of all, it is necessary to develop proper nutrition skills in children. This should be done as early as possible. Eating food by choosing is due to misdiagnosis during the period of six months to two years. Mothers should be patient in this period. A meal which is new to a child should be offered 10 to 15 times even if the child does not want to eat. If he didn’ want to eat today, you have to give it back the next day. The baby is inclined to taste all fresh foods in the age of 6-8 months, but after two years, he learns to eat by choosing.

-"What about if the time passed?"

- It can be adjusted for several months. The child should be interested in cooking since the age of three. Involve it together to cook food. But not a potato or a dessert, but a mixture of two or three different vegetables must be prepared. The child is really interested in what he cooked. Also, do not forget that if the mother does not like beet or turnip, it is not right to force her child to do so.

- Parents are worried that their children will be hungry all day if they don’t have breakfast in the morning.

- It's a peculiar deception of children. He does not want to eat a piece of dried or vegetable food, and he is offered to eat sausages, biscuits, or a dessert worriying about his hunger. In this way, children have an unhealthy diet. If he does not want to eat, let him not eat. Let he be very hungry, let him appetite come. Then he will have to eat. If your child is too weak, go to a doctor. Make sure that there is no contagious disease in your child. Only then you can start proper nutrition.
