To children postulates on healthy food are unknown. Uncharged the principles of useful food, they choose that it seems to them tasty – sweets. Help the child not to become dependent on sweet. It will save it in the future from obesity and a set of problems with health.
Better late
As a rule, children to sweet are accustomed by their parents, and then they are surprised why the kid refuses to eat buckwheat or salad, demanding instead of them pies and casserole. The later your child learns about existence of sweets, the it will be better for it: neither chocolates, nor cakes will become a part of its habitual diet. Certainly, for this purpose you should limit also yourself, not to regale on candies and cookies at the kid, not to hold their house. Also do not forget to ask grandmothers and grandfathers, other relatives and your friends with whom the child that they did not treat the kid without your permission communicates.
Chocolate – not encouragement
Chocolate, lollipops and other sweet delicacies often act as encouragement for the child. Sweets solemnly hand to the kid for good marks, the washed dishes, the learned poem and an order in the room. The belief is so gradually formed: the taste of sugar contacts feeling that the child good, parents are happy with it and love it. Why not to experience these emotions again and again, pushing more chocolate in a mouth. An exit is simple: choose other way of encouragement. You praise the kid for progress, give him the small sums of money, suggest to go to the amusement park or movie theater together.
The child will not starve to death
Small children quite often are capricious and refuse food. Often near it nekhochukhy all family is built, playing the whole representation, and trying to finish to eat by means of jokes and rhymes the child still a spoon. If the child is unshakable, tasteless potato with cutlet are carried away, and the kid is given sweet bun or candy that he ate at least it. In fact the healthy child will not starve, having missed one-two meals. But, if finds out that he has a choice between useful, but tasteless food, and delicacy, he will choose the second option. When the child does not want to eat, just allow it to leave because of a table hungry and give it with yourself carrots or couple of apples.
Sweet replacement
Replace high-calorie sweets with less harmful products. Instead of sparkling water the kid can offer juice or fruit juice, instead of fat ice cream – fruit ice, instead of chocolate – fruit jelly or marshmallows. Also the child can eat yogurts, fruit jelly, a fruit candy, sour cream desserts. Acquaint your child with tasty and useful delicacies which will be able to replace to it candies and cakes.
