Here you go! 5 sure shot tips just for you

 

1. Don’t succumb to the food demand of your child every time.

You can spice things up. But never fall for the demand. Every child has appetite and requirements. When your child don’t eat food you want you end up giving the food they want. And mostly those are the unhealthy choices. Let them be hungry and ask for food.

 

2. Offer food but don’t force.

Again as the science of a toddler say it is a time to be autonomous. How can you force someone who want to be the boss? So don’t try to be the boss. Help and offer them but don’t force.

 

3. Restrict juices and drinks.

Water is for drinking not to fill your stomach. Same when child drinks too much of juices and drinks there appetite will be decreased. Also don’t allow your child to drink water while eating. Preserved juices are not natural and also heavy on carbohydrates. That fills your child’s tummy quickly and satisfy their hunger. So no juices till they eat.

4. Create competitions.

Don’t try to overcome the ego of competitive person. When you provoke your child to compete with other they will do their best. Miraculously when you ask your child to compete with his dad or sibling they do their job very faster and better. So create competitons for eating daily food during lunch or dinner with siblings.

 

5. Eat food together.

Make eating time pleasurable not a routine. We eat food to get energy but eating also brings satisfaction. When you eat pizza you get satisfaction and energy that sometime lacks when you only rice. So eating together brings a moment of joy and satisfaction.

 

6. Clock is always right.

Always make routine time for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Don’t go haphazardly. Make perfect routine and feed your child.
