Some children always eat in the kitchen, and often, parents do not eat with them. By our own example, we can do a great deal to encourage children to eat. Everyone is bron with a certain fondness for particular foods. Some have a weakness for sweets or spicy foods. Many mothers have pre-conveived ideas, right or wrong, about what their child should eat, often based on her own tastes and family habits that are handed down to her.
Good food has essential elements,like proteins, vitamins, minerals and roughage.
We need a mixture of these components in every meal - and , there is no doubt, that the foods usually preferred by the children contain most of the things necessary to meet the bodily requirements. Many children are fussy eaters, not because they do not feel hungry but because they like to be the center of attraction and attention. A meal-time must be a time of pleasure. Too big a serving can also turn a child against food Milk, full upto the top of the glass, can also irritate. Encourage a child to serve himself helpings he can finish, and if occasionally he cannot finish then, forgive the lapse.
