"If he is not eating the meal at home, offer an alternative"
Saying that if the children do not eat the food at home, alternatives should not be offered and the child should be expected to be hungry, Gültaç Dayı Çamır said, "The parents' struggle to eat something without giving the child hunger, with the thought of 'The child will be hungry', 'He will not say if he is hungry' is one of the biggest mistakes made. If he refuses to eat, do not be insistent.Do not offer your child other alternatives so that he will not be hungry. Do not say 'all of those on this plate will be exhausted.' Do not fill your child's plate well, but rather feed it in small portions. "Her parents should decide where to eat and how much to eat."
"Do not give a reward for eating"
Stating that parents should prepare foods that children do not like in a different way, Çamır stated that when the child does not eat a food, it should not be insistent but should not give up immediately. Dietician Gültaç Dayı Çamır continued as follows: "For example, prepare the vegetables he does not like at regular intervals and bring them to the table with presentations they will like. Do not reward your child for eating." If you finish your meal, I will reward you. " Because your child will want to do the things that he has to do by getting used to being rewarded in return for a reward. Parents who panicked saying 'My child does not eat', rewarding them when they eat, and sitting them in front of the television to eat prevent children from adopting healthy eating habits. "
