Develop Healthy Eating Habits In Your Children The other day I watched a very informative documentary Vive La Cantinel (Long live

4、the Canteenl). There was a chef and a dietitian (营养学家 ) who went to 2 canteens in France to see the condition in which children, about 8 years old, were served food. It was really very unpleasant and shocking. The children were served chips and other “junk food“ (Powder and water for soup!) on a dai

5、ly basis. They deliberately avoid any vegetables placed on their plates despite genuine efforts made by the cooks at the canteens to make them food from fresh vegetables. This gave me food for thought because this is a very grave issue when children at this tender age, still in a stage of active phy

6、sical growth, do not eat vegetables. This article will be focused mostly on vegetables because these are the main foods which are a problem for children. Educate your children about the different types of vegetables Take some junk foods like chips, burgers, etc. and add a few vegetables like beet, s

7、pinach and celery and ask your kid the names of each food item. Ill bet you that your child will know ALL the junk food and will fail to know the names of about 30% of the vegetables. Educating their children about the basics of healthy eating is an area where most parents fail. So the first thing I

8、ll recommend is to familiarize your kids with the different vegetables there are, their tastes, their textures, their colors, their flavors in food. Let them actually experience the joy of fresh vegetables and hopefully this will help them get rid of the bad image vegetables ingrained (根深蒂固 ) in chi

9、ldrens minds. Stop rewarding your kids Most parents try to bribe their children into eating vegetables by coaxing (劝诱 ) them with rewards. This kind of behavior will instill (灌输 ) the idea that vegetables are something that they are forced to eat for a reward. If there are no rewards, your children

10、wont bother eating the vegetables. If you are doing this, you must STOP it now because you will only be fooling yourself and your kids for a “short period“. How long do you think you can bribe your kids to eat vegetables? If you want your kids to gain healthy eating habits for the rest of his/her li

11、fe, you must start by explaining to them why eating vegetables are good for them. They wont be able to understand this at first but be inflexible (不 退让的 ) (not forceful). Explain each time that kids must eat vegetables to stay healthy and smart. Stop punishing your kids Like the rewarding kids, ther

12、e are some parents who go to extreme measures in order to make their children finish their meals. These experiences will make the children create a hatred for vegetables. Dont shove the vegetables down his/her throat but rather be patient and take the time to explain to your children that vegetables

13、 will do their health good. Actually cook them food Most parents actually buy foods for their kids or just microwave something they put together like the “powder and water to make soup“ food. First of all, outside food does not equal home cooked food. You have no control of the ingredients used to m

14、ake the food, basic stuff like salt, sugar, oil. No, you must not put your kids on a diet but it doesnt hurt to have a control on health enemies like this especially as the rates of obese kids are escalating. Also, most of the instantaneous foods which take just a few minutes to cook are actually ju

15、nk food. Let your kids taste a real carrot soup with real carrots in it instead of just powder and water. Limit the pocket money Kids today have too much money and not enough control. Limit their pocket money so that they dont buy candy or a chocolate bar every time they are hungry. Prepare them a h

16、ealthy lunch meal instead of giving them money to buy food to eat. Give your kids healthy snacks Instead of giving him two chocolates, two candies, or one chocolate and biscuit, why not treat him to a chocolate and an apple or a yogurt and some biscuit. He will like it and also eat healthily at the

17、same time. Hide the vegetables in the dishes Despite your various attempts you find your kid still not enjoying the vegetable you have cooked for him, then it is time for you to resort to some guerrilla tactics (游击战术 ). You must try to hide the vegetables in the dishes you prepare for him. You can c

18、rush vegetables for pasta sauces or you put the vegetables on a pizza. You can also make shakes and smoothies from fresh vegetables. There are many secret ways to prepare dishes with vegetables which are not so apparent. If you are discovered by your kids, you may be accused of “cheating“ but at lea

19、st you are sacrificing yourself for the goods of your children. Make them watch educational cartoons on food and nutrition Children are easily influenced by what they watch on TV. The proof: a cartoon from Ireland known as Food Dudes is already getting children hooked on vegetables. The Food Dudes a

20、re 4 preteens called Razz, Rocco, Charlie and Tom who fight against the evil General Junk and his sidekicks who are depriving the world of fruits and veggies! The teens get their superpowers by consuming healthful foods like raspberries (Razz), broccoli (Rocco), carrots (Charlie) and tomatoes (Tom).

21、 Be a model to your children And last but not least, be a model to your kids.

Also if youre practicing healthy eating habits, its a lot easi

22、er to convince children to do the same. Kids are very smart nowadays. You will lose many battles at first but you will win the war eventually if you stick to the above guidelines.
