Feeding an eighteen-month-old without their awareness while they play or are distracted by television or toys is very undesirable. The child should eat at the table like adults, eating the foods they eat. For this, adults also need to eat properly.
Children grow up imitating us and also imitate the way we eat. It is recommended to set the breakfast table and have children and adults eat breakfast together. At lunch, the father may be at work; the child can eat face to face with the adult caring for them. In the evening, the whole family should gather around the table and eat together.
To avoid appetite problems, the adults should start eating first and the child should watch them. Children need to become a little hungry. For example, if dinner is at 7 p.m., nothing should be given to the child for the last three hours, starting at 4 p.m. Crackers, chips and chocolate affect the child's appetite center and cause serious nutritional and eating disorders.
It is very important not to enter into conflict with a child over food. Children eat the amount they need, but adults may not find it enough and may want to feed them more. Let us avoid conflict over eating.
