Getting Your Child To Eat Healthy - Tips And Advice That Really Work!
Tumblr media
My story: I don't have some real horror stories to tell you on this front. My son has gone through phases but on the whole was a great eater. He generally comes to the dinner table before his dad, who needs a couple of added shouts - how annoying is it when guys do this; what a fantastic role model, eh!!! Here are a few things I do on a regular basis that Appear to work for us 
O I'm no nutritionist or health expert, but I believe all of us know what constitutes healthy eating. I try to be certain my child has carbohydrates, protein, calcium and vegetables and fruit everyday. Some days you may not manage everything, but so long as they have a good, balanced diet many days, they'll be healthy. 
O Remember that there are lots of distinct ways for your kids to meet their nutritional needs, so if they don't like one particular sort of food, try another with comparable nutritional value. Do try to change the foods just as much as your little one will make it possible for you. Here are a few hints: 
O Protein: red meat, fish, poultry, cheese, eggs 
O Carbohydrates - potatoes, bread, pasta o Calcium: milk, yoghurts, cheese, eggs o Fruit: bananas, apples, oranges, kiwi fruit, pineapples, fruit juice o Vegetables: carrots, broccoli, onions, mushrooms, peppers § My little boy is far keener on veggies than he's on fruit. I think this is OK as he's still getting his nutrients from the vegetables, and he drinks pure orange juice. I still sometimes try to promote fruit but do not make a big deal about it. 
O Get your children that will help you prepare the food and involve them in cooking as much as possible, bearing security in mind, of course. Give them plenty of praise while they are helping. If you're making tea to your husband or others, announce to everybody your kid helped create the tea and tell them exactly what he did to help. This will make him feel proud of his accomplishments and encourage him to consume. 
O if you're fortunate enough to have a garden, grow some vegetables in it. Carrots are a great starting option; inform your kids the carrots belong to them and get them to help you with the backyard. Keep it small so you can make the experience enjoyable. 
O When you find something healthy your child enjoys, stick to this for a little while. Let her try new foods off your plate on a side dish. I've often found when I try to introduce new foods together with all the ones my son is comfortable with, it could put off him eating the whole of his dinner. By way of instance, I know he likes chicken, carrots and potatoes; if I then try to present cabbage and place it on his plate with the rest of the food he likes, it might be sufficient to put him off everything else. 
O If your child doesn't like vegetables, a fantastic way to get him to eat them is to mash them up in casserole sauces. You could even liquidise soup which has vegetable inside and give him bread for dipping into the soup - better still if you're able to make homemade bread and involve him in making it. o Try making boiled eggs and have toast soldiers to dip into the eggs. If you add food colouring to your water when you're boiling the eggs, then it is going to add a little color to them, which might make breakfast somewhat more exciting. You can even let your child select the color she wants the egg to be. 
O Ask your child to set the table for dinner and give him plenty of praise. Allow him to use napkins or plates that he enjoys. 
O If your child does not like a certain food, try preparing it another way. My child did not enjoy fish in breadcrumbs so that I put it in the microwave with a knob of butter for a couple of minutes instead and he enjoys it. 
O I don't understand your feelings on tomato ketchup, but it might make the difference between a kid eating something and not - it could be worth a try. 
O Put off the TV at mealtimes and have the entire family sit around the table. They might not like this at first, but pretty soon it will become a regular, and there's much more chance of your child eating if she can focus on what she's doing. Include your child in the conversations around the table, and make it an enjoyable time were you catch up and tell one another your information. O Take your child to the store and get him to help you pick the food for tea. He can pick the mince and place the carrots in the bag for you. 
O Pasta is generally a very popular dish for kids. Spaghetti Bolognese is very fun for them, and something as simple as pasta and cheese may make a fast, healthy lunch; serve it with a few pure orange juice and you have a balanced meal. 
O If you have trouble getting your children to eat fruit, then you could always sometimes make pudding, which will encourage them to eat fruittry banana boat or apple crumble.
