Children always like to eat snacks? My little trick might help you

△ The picture is of the rationed snack can of Edamame. This weekend, Edamame’s mother shared a little parenting tip with everyone. It’s short and practical. I have tried many ways to stop my children from eating snacks, but they all seem very difficult. I yelled at Edamame at the top of my lungs to no avail. Isn\’t there a saying that says: \”If roaring works, then donkeys will rule the world?\” If your child doesn\’t eat snacks, it\’s easy for him to be unhappy. If he\’s still unhappy, he\’ll cry and howl for a while. It\’s so annoying! Later, I used a method that worked quite well, and I will introduce it to you today. That is: put your children’s snacks into snack jars in a rationed amount (remember! This is very important) and let them get it by themselves instead of unpacking the snacks and giving them to them. Here are a few pictures I usually take: △You can use tags to distinguish \”morning\” and \”afternoon\”. On the 2.7th, I gave Edamame more than half a banana and two or three pieces of whole wheat crackers. △What I gave edamame on 2.12 was: half a bag of fruit puree in the morning, and milk-soaked oatmeal + whole-wheat crackers in the afternoon. This has several benefits. First of all: children are more confident. I used to secretly hide snacks in a high cabinet. If you wanted to eat edamame, you had to ask me for it, and I had to agree. I think it’s natural for children to eat snacks. Why do they have to ask others for instructions every time? Why not put the initiative in his hands? The child\’s life needs to be controlled by himself! I found that since I got the snacks, Edamame was very good at managing his own life. He nodded matter-of-factly, with an expression of \”If you believe me, I can do it well\” to take credit. Secondly, children develop a regular snacking habit. Two tips: First of all, the snack jars I chose are very small, basically equivalent to the amount of a snack. Secondly, I put the labels on the snack cans for morning and afternoon and told the children: \”It\’s gone after you eat it. You have to eat it tomorrow.\” The habit of healthy eating is developed since childhood. If the children are used to eating about the same, then it will be fine. Nor will you overeat. △Affix a time label on the jar. Third, there is no need to criticize, and the child can consciously stop eating snacks. Since setting up the snack jar, I couldn’t be happier. When Edamame saw that the snack jar was empty, he thought it was gone and wouldn\’t ask for any more. It became easy to convince the child. I previously wrote an article titled \”Can\’t Change Children\’s Bad Habits?\” \”You need this sentence\” also talks about the same principle: Want to change your children? Change the environment first. Regarding what to eat: The best snacks are whole-wheat crackers, lightly salted seaweed, fruits, dried shrimps, yogurt, whole-wheat cereal, etc. Don’t put high-calorie and high-sugar things in the snack jars. White chocolate, potato chips, etc. are all thick! Regarding how much to eat: How much do you put in the snack jar? Just don’t affect your next meal. The morning snack jar should not affect lunch, and the afternoon snack jar should not affect dinner. Regarding what snack jars to use: As the edamame grows, I just use glass snack jars. For small babies, it is recommended to use ones that are resistant to falling. It is best to use a lid for easy sealing. The best place to put snack jars is in your child’s own activity corner. I put it on the small table and chair for the time being because I have never found a good-looking and well-designed children\’s small cabinet. If there is one, I will move it there in the future. This method is extremely simple, just fill the snack jar with snacks every day, and you no longer have to yell at your children at the top of your lungs.Zi: \”Why did you eat a big bag of potato chips again!\” Therefore, being a smart mother is much more important than being a hard-working mother. Isn’t it very practical? Maybe you haven\’t thought of it before, so starting from today, give it a try?
