Don't use sweet food as a reward for finishing savouries. To a child this might be saying, 'here's something nice after eating those nasty greens'. Reward them with a trip to the park or watching a video instead. If your child prefers drink to food, cut down on the amount of drinks you give just before mealtimes. Vegetarian children There are different types of vegetarians.
Vegans eat no foods which come from animals.
If meat and fish are replaced with cheese and eggs, the diet may be rather high in fat, and low in iron. To provide a better balance of nutrients, include beans, peas, and lentils along with grains such as rice, pasta, millet or maize. A vegan diet may be very bulky, consisting mainly of fruits, vegetables and beans. Young children may have difficulty in eating enough food to provide the energy and nutrients they need for growth. For extra energy, add vegetable oils or vegetarian margarine to foods.
