Not everyone in childhood enthusiastically ate semolina or drank hot milk with a film on top. Now our children are behaving exactly also: they do not want to eat cereals and salads, refuse useful yogurt, herbs and vegetables. Why not start worrying? No one the parent is not able to look at the fact that his child is hungry or eats whatever. And we forget about our “hungry” childhood and about that everyone grew up healthy and strong. Still worried remains, and I want to somehow change this situation so that the child does not just ate, so that he ate more or less environmentally friendly food, without dyes and additives.
How to be Persuasion helps some distractions in the form of reading a book or a cartoon. However, it is known that if you force food into a child while he watches adventures of heroes on the screen, it’s of great benefit to him not will bring. Much more useful when children are involved in the adoption process. food as such, and eat not mechanically, but with pleasure. For many parents use the following tricks:
- they draw different faces and patterns on jam with porridge;
- tell how much porridge Masha from the famous cartoon;
- give the child funny spoons and plates with patterns.
What is the essence of these tricks? For many, they work, so you can to conclude: you have to play with food. Then baby every meal will perceive as an opportunity to join a new interesting the game. After all, children, especially small ones, quickly get bored, and switching to another occupation will be a joy for them.
We decorate in a new way Surely mom, dad and child already tired of the face painted on porridge? let’s try to arouse the child’s interest in a more complex image this way: make porridge the face of a kitten or tiger cub. Can come up with any other little animal that your child loves. Porridge put in a plate in the form of an oval, and on the sides make ears from sausages, meat or fish. You can also use vegetables for this. It doesn’t matter if the ears are green – this is a fabulous animal! Exactly You can also make circles for the cheeks. Eyes are made of protein and olives, the nose is also from olives, and the mouth is from something red that found in the house – carrots, peppers or tomatoes. If you want to do eyebrows and mustache, you can use dill, parsley and green onions. Here and we have a fabulous face that will make the baby’s breakfast interesting and tasty. Complex decoration If not the first option is suitable – surprise the baby by the fact that he will have breakfast with your favorite toy. It will take more time, some skill and patience, but if you are ready intrigue the child, then boldly take up this experiment. Only a favorite toy will be made from products. For example, if a baby If he loves robots, then we invite him to dinner in the company of this “iron” friend. Let’s look at the toy robot and try construct it with bread, crackers and other products. For the eyes, you can use a piece of cheese, and for small details circles of colorful vegetables, canned corn in the form of light bulbs and green peas. Fit cucumbers, tomatoes and herbs – the robot is ready. Now we invite friends to dinner, during which the child may well want to know how this toy is made, and imperceptibly send everything that you put into her mouth.

Therefore, we will construct complex things on the weekend, or we will entrust this to the grandmothers. But a simple figure can be made very quickly, but the baby will definitely like this jewelry. For example, for some reason many children like colored yogurts, which not everyone is inclined. These poisonous colors terrify many mom, so let’s try to make healthy yogurt attractive the kid ate it with pleasure. Take a deep plate, spread there yogurt. From the red pepper, cut off the lower part – approximately one third. We put the top on the plate with the whole part up, to it attach the rings of olives, as if it were eyes on the body octopus. Cut the sliced part into strips and lay around torso like tentacles. Who will refuse to eat such yogurt? Via a toy octopus can also be decorated with mashed soup or curd mass. We do still lifes Are you a creative person? Let’s enjoy creating whole pictures from products? Remember all these photographs in magazines where dishes present a forest glade, then a beautiful landscape, then a sunflower, then the turtle. You can also decorate baby food, because for reproducing the landscape, for example, you need useful products, and this just right. So, we give ideas for design, but how it arrange, you will be prompted by a fantasy:

Great – we can make a flock of crabs out of them! It takes three minutes, and pays off with a full dinner. We attach legs, building them from red vegetables. Mouth can be made from half radishes – let him smile at the baby. The crabs have bulging eyes so we take two toothpicks, stick them in place of the eyes, on them string the squares of cheese or the same radish, and put on top circles of olives. The dish is ready, and now ask the baby – where this crab has sailed and what does he want? Of course, he came from distant seas and really wants your baby to eat it. Sweets for shops are full of colorful chocolate wrappers bars that are hard to call chocolate. Meanwhile a little this product will not hurt the child, and if he is not refused, then tantrums in the store can well be avoided. Of course, it will be about To make a chocolate treat at home.
