Children suffer from anorexia, and each meal
to children and their parents is a fight. Nutritious doctors give 5 leading
reasons that make children lazy eating.
1. Children follow their parents
Parents are dainty about food and this is
one of the leading reasons that make children suffer from anorexia. For
example, maybe you don’t like to eat carrot and you often complain appearance
of carrot on dining table. Children will pay attention when they recognize that
their parents don’t eat carrot and dishes that are cooked from carrot. In a
long time, that attention becomes habit and children don’t indifferently like
to eat carrot.
Children
can imitate their parents’ eating and drinking, so it will lead to anorexia.
Carrot is rich in vitamin A and it is good
for children, so mothers force them to eat a lot of carrot and show anger when
mothers recognize that babies don’t eat carrot with reason: ”Parents don’t
also eat carrot”.
Clearly, adults have mistake in evaluating
children’s imitation of children and parents aren’t a good example for
children. Maybe you don’t like carrot, but you should tell about benefits of
carrot and eat one piece that children can follow you. Even in the cases that
you don’t like some dish at least, you need to try so that your children can
understand that this dish isn’t dull.
2. Processing meal too simply
Mothers that work in government office are
often busy with their work and they disregard family meals. This is their
biggest mistake. You often consider that babies will have enough nutrients if
they eat fully and meals have enough meat, fish, egg and milk. This thinking is
incorrect because children often like meals that are attractive and have a lot
of colors.
These dishes are processed simply with dull
colors will reduce feeling of craving for foods to little children. Even if you
often last this state, babies will hate those dishes and gradually, babies will
suffer from anorexia.
At this time, people advise mothers to
prepare a lot of dishes and limit repetition of dishes because this thing can
lead to tiredness about taste and smell.
Mothers should collect cooking formulas so
that they can process into many dishes with the same material. Mothers need to
pay attention to taste, color and nutrition to intensify craving for foods of
children.
3. Letting children eat snacks before main meals
Before meals, children have habit of using
biscuit, drinking a cup of milk eating candies. This thing makes children have
difficulty in controlling weight, it will affect main meals and as a result,
children will suffer from anorexia.
The best way is that you shouldn’t let your
children nosh before main meals. You should take children to attend activities
outside to help them digest better.

4. Parents lack knowledge about nutrition
Peter is 4 years old, but his weight is
lower than his friends that have the same age. His mother feels strange because
his all meals have meat. Through websites, his mother knows that his son’s
meals are similar every day and there is difference in processing.
Experts show that eating a lot of meat
isn’t surely good. Meals need to have a lot of different foods such as
vegetables, fruits, protein and fat. When parents feed babies, they often base
on usual thinking, intuition and experience. Therefore, this thing can cause
serious effects that can make babies suffer from anorexia and lose balance of
nutrition.

protein and fats.
5. Threatening to make babies eat
When feeding babies, many mothers have to
use words to threaten or promise so that babies can eat the whole bowl of rice.
Sometimes, they have to use force to make babies eat. Because of this thing, in
meals, mothers boil over with suppressed anger and children cry.
In reality, when children are force to eat,
they will dislike foods. To children that dislike eating some dish, coercing
them will make them not eat more.
Instead of threatening and shouting at
children, parents should quote stories that relate to dishes to help babies
eliminate aversion and they will be excited with eating and drinking.
