Small children are masters of their own will. If you feel like eating then eat well otherwise you will remain hungry for hours without eating. In such a situation, parents lose their temper and scold the child, threaten him and some parents even raise their hands on the children to make them eat. However, it is important to understand here that scolding or beating children too much is not the solution to this problem.

Children behave according to their age. They have no understanding of right and wrong. Therefore, to teach the right thing, one must know how to handle the child properly. To increase interest in healthy food, the child should be encouraged to try eating healthy food himself. Let us know how to encourage the child to eat healthy-

Encourage children to eat healthy:

Read an interesting picture book to the child that has stories related to healthy eating. Children are very attracted to such books and are aware of living such a life. Make changes in yourself. Do not compare, shout at or punish your child for food. These things reduce the desire to eat more. When the child eats, praise him, clap and encourage him, so that the child does not throw a tantrum before eating again. Show films that show the ill effects of unhealthy food and explain the benefits of healthy food. This motivates the child.

Maintain a healthy diet yourself so that your child also follows you. The child tries to eat what you eat. In such a situation, keep your diet healthy, which will benefit you and you can become a role model in front of your children and make them aware of proper nutrition. Stop bringing unhealthy food items home. If you do not keep things like chutney, biscuits, noodles, mayonnaise, chips, chocolates at home, then your consumption will automatically be limited. It is easy to eat them when they are easily available. If you have to keep it at home, then keep it away from the reach of children.
