Every mother faced with the problem of feeding the child nutritious food. For example, a boy of six years does not eat vegetables. And do not try, believe me, it will not make. You can certainly make mashed potatoes, or add them to his sandwiches, but also need to teach him to love healthy food. Because once it goes to university and leave his father's house. Many parents have tried to somehow get their children to eat healthy foods, but usually does not help. This is called - syndrome fastidious. Of course, this is not a medical term, but once should it be called?

It is clear that the lamentations of punishment, tips, instructions - nothing works. Perhaps some tips can still help and lead to the desired results.

• Focus on the three pillars of a balanced diet: balance, variety and moderation.
• Try to make sure that the diet was diverse, containing various food groups, but it was moderate. Of course, this is difficult, but we must try.
• It does not matter that add to the sandwich Sandwiches. Pros and cons   or a meal, but add at least one vegetable or fruit.
• Diversify the kitchen, at least slightly. Even the most nutrient-rich meal may not contain all the right nutrients that are required by your children. If the children every day have a similar diet, which means that some vitamins, minerals and nutriiny Ionia receive every day, but also some day receive less.
• All food can be incorporated into a healthy diet.
• Limit junk food. The food having high fat or calorie sugar substitute should be limited. Also, a portion should be moderate. Overeating is not very useful.
• Divide food into three categories: Food, which can always have; food that can be eaten occasionally; and the food that children better not to eat.
• Do not make a meal of the award. Many mothers like to reward their children for good behavior by any goodies. The fact that children start to allocate the rest of the food in the background. And this food is generally not very useful. After all, no one rewards the child for good behavior with a piece of broccoli.
• Counts nutrients in the diet for a week. This week, not for a day or for dinner, because children may be inconsistent eating habits. This helps reduce the everyday stress when the child decides to have lunch only grapes and crackers for dinner only. You will be able to fill the gap vitamins Vitamins for everyone   later.
• Carefully insert a new dish in the diet. Offering the baby to eat several kinds of food, we can assume that he will eat at least one thing. Even if it's a hot dog, cheese burrito or a plate of boiled beans. Suggest something new and useful only after his favorite food, it set the tone for his behavior. After the new dishes again offer him what he prefers.
• Do not force children to eat. When we force children to eat anything, it teaches them to be afraid of eating. Then, with age, this fear passes, and hostility to the adoption of food remains. Children need good good associations with food. Otherwise, we can injure the psyche of the child, to spoil his relationship with food, and to us.
• You do not need to drink during meals. Do not let your child drink until he eat at least half of the plate. Otherwise, he will only drink juice or juice and so neither eat up.
• Allow children to make choices. No need to fully take on this part of their lives. A little more freedom.

You choose what to offer the child, and he chooses, has it or not. Make the meal enjoyable for kids and everyone will benefit from this.
