Do not to focus on how much was eaten by the child!

All children know how much food they need:

large and puny, lovers eat and Maliki. Even children with a good appetite at some point eat and don't want. The child requires trust: he'll eat as much as you need specifically to him. Attempts to get the child to eat more or less will turn against you and create the very problem you are trying to avoid.

Your child can have a lot or a little

Sometimes he can barely eat, and sometimes eats so much that it is difficult to imagine. Both normally. Take a look at these figures: the child toddlers, on average, consumes from 960 to 1700 calories a day. Add 20% to the normal daily fluctuations up or down will turn out that the child consumes from 760 to 2040 calories per day.

The same fluctuations are typical for children of other ages. If you limit your child's diet or, conversely, to get him to eat, the difference in the number of daily calories consumed will be more. Your child will eat more or less depending on who controls the situation.





Your child grows and develops in its own way

If you are trying single-handedly to control his power and everything he does, your child will eat, to move and to grow it as it will be correctly specifically for him. He even will be able to compensate for your mistakes in eating. Nurture a child is to be literate in nutrition.

It is not necessary to focus on the fact that the child ate a lot or a little, don't worry and look wider. Let the child retain the ability to hear their inner sensations of hunger, appetite and satiety. He'll be fine and will be there as long as necessary, and determine the needs of his body.

The child can eat and grow, moving from one extreme to another

Too big or puny kids can cause parents anxiety so strong that those trying to adjust their diet.

Large children (and children of all sizes) who lack food or who are afraid that its not enough, thoughts about food and tend to overeat at any opportunity.

Slim children who are forced, begin to feel a aversion to food, and if you can, try to eat as little as possible.

Trust your child, let him eat as much as he needs

  • No need to take full responsibility for the child's diet.

  • Let the food be as comfortable as possible for all family members.

  • Sit down at a table to eat between large meals. Do not give food or drink for a snack on the go (you can give water).

  • Let the child grows and develops, his body will be what it should be.published
