If meticulous eating were an Olympic sport, would your child be the gold medal winner. If so, you are not alone. Many parents find that their children consistently place first in the “you can’t make me eat that” category and excel at pushing food around their plate. When you tell them to get ready to eat, the first thing that you hear from them “I don’t want to eat” Always asking for some specials to eat the food their first preference is sweets or chocolates.
How can you turn mealtime into a family-friendly hour as opposed to an all-out war? Here are some suggestions:
Patience is crucial
Never force your children to eat everything you have put on the plate if they refuse to eat that. You have to offer a variety of foods and include the ones that they like. Sometimes introduce some new foods to excite and might start to like it. You have to keep in mind that if you create a big issue during their mealtime, it is not good. Eventually, they might become terrified of meal times. That is not good for their future.
