Lovleena MishraMom of 2 children4 years agoA. Instead of giving 3 big meals, give 6 small meals. Offer food in small proportions. Give more only when the kid demands. Offer healthy snacks like peanut butter crackers, granola bar, cereal bars etc. Give papaya, pineapples, mangoes, avocados, bananas, pears etc. Offer colourful foods like beetroot halwa, gajar halwa, stuffed paranthas with carrots, cabbage, etc. Offer foods in colourful plates and cut foods into different shapes using food cutters to attract the attention of the kid. Offer his favourite foods along with new foods that you want to introduce in his diet. Give him a bowl and a spoon to eat. Let him play with the food and let him make a mess. This is how he will learn to eat independently by first touching, then playing and finally tasting the food. Avoid distractions during mealtimes like TV, tablets, mobile phones, laptop etc. Make mealtimes a pleasant family experience. The entire family should eat together so that the kid learns healthy eating habits from the parents, grandparents and siblings. Consult with your doctor whether any vitamin supplements could be given to your kid such as Vitamin A, C and D.
