And whether it is necessary to force the child is? Both psychologists, and gastroenterologists agree in opinion that nothing good (under pressure) leaves such approach to food. Everything what parents can achieve is a development of neurosis and permanent disgust for food in general at the child.
Whatever small the child was even if to him all half-year, he already understands that put pressure upon it, forcing to eat what is not pleasant to it or when he does not want it.
The second minus of violent feeding is a risk of development of psychological dependence, lack of an opportunity at the kid to learn most to define the requirements and to make own decisions. That is, such pressure negatively affects formation of its character and the personality!
Besides, it too violence, let and in a soft form. If you need very to feed the kid, for example, if it is necessary to take medicine, and it is recommended to be drunk ""at meal time"", then turn process into a game or a joke.
Learn to find from nekhochukhy together (!) compromise solutions, learn to listen to his opinion. Do you, dear parents, for certain have some preferences in food, truly? Here and the child can just not love fish or some type of meat.
If fish or meat (it is admissible beef) is necessary for the child, but he refuses flatly these products, then try to prepare from them something unusual. For example, mashed potatoes can be decorated with currant berries! I used berries from jam as ornament and very much it was pleasant to it. (Which FAUGH) and boiled meat can be formed of egg yolks figures well-loved by the kid multgeroyev.
It is impossible to feed the child during viewing the favourite cartoon or other occupation. Food has to be food, do not entice it the book, the TV or still something. It is a bad habit and food it is acquired much worse.
It is impossible to hurry the kid and to complain about that he did not eat up the portion. Do not think that your child is silly owing to age, no! He and only he feels the organism and knows when to it food suffices. Pay attention to that how often it has a bite between the main meals. There can be his small appetite is your fault. Often the parents anxious with the poor eater's problem place on all apartment of cookie-pryanichki-candy. If and to have a bite, then fruit or a small portion of yogurt.
