Should parents force their children to eat food they don't like?

If parents force the child to eat, they are making a fundamental mistake. Contrary to the opinion of the child's body does not need large volume of food. And overeating in this case causes the child's body only to disease, but not to progress. .

Forcing children is not a good attitude to dictate the children to eat food, rather than parents should be role model for children for balanced food. 

In one large survey of kids under age 12, mom and dad ranked highest as their children's nutrition role models -- the persons the kids most wanted to be like, reports Tanner-Blasier. Nearly 70% of children reported they were likely to talk with mom or dad about nutrition and their body size.

That survey -- conducted by the American Dietetic Association Foundation -- also picked up on the families' activity levels. Kids were more likely to eat a meal or watch TV with a parent, rather than playing outside.

 

 

 

"Parents expect their kids to do things, like exercise, that they themselves don't do," . "You can't lie on the couch watching TV, snacking on potato chips -- yet tell your child to go outside and get some exercise. It just doesn't work that way."

How to Model Good Nutrition for Your Child

Any parent can be a good role model for children's nutrition. "Even if you're overweight and having trouble losing it, it's still possible to role model a healthy lifestyle for your child," Kleinman tells WebMD. Try these tips at home:

• Buy fruits and vegetables rather than snacks. "Studies show that if parents emphasize how important these are in the diet, children will eat them more often -- compared to parents who are more about relaxed it," says Kleinman. "You don't want to be rigid about it, but you must insist."
• Pass along the basics of portion control. Kids also must learn to stop eating -- what nutritionists call portion control. "In our culture, we tend to lose sight of the feeling of fullness," Kleinman explains. "The 'clean your plate' club overrides the natural cues a child has to stop eating when they are full. It prompts them to eat when there is no reason to eat."

Really I don't support the ideal where we force our children to eat what they dont like. We must learn to respect their wish.... That is what give them the courage that they are truly loved

No. They should give space to them to share their desires

One of the biggest mistakes that is where parents is threatening or bribe their children to end the dish food is dedicated to them, or dining no love him, is believed to parents that it will change their perspective for food a given no love him, actually be forced to dining certain leads to create a feeling bad to that of food, and stores memories negatively Associated with it.

 

It is also important to reward your children when they eat - optionally - at least a small bite of the food they have already refused, and encourage them to come back without being forced, their idea of ​​that food is likely to change in the future for a good reward.
