Soumya ChandranGuardian of a 5 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. Hi,
Kids at these age often likes to play. As, parents, our role will be critical to make them feed with right nutrients. Following are the methods I tried to make my naughty eat:
1. Make them engaged while eating- I make my son engaged in some activities while eating. I will keep him busy with some toys so he concentrates more on game
2. Eat along: At times I/ my husband eats along with him. So he will get the feeling of doing something important.
3. Understand preference: At times he wants to be fed by himself. it will be messy and time taking process however the most important part is he finishes the plate. And then appreciate him for doing so.
4. Never force feed: Force feed will not only lead him to vomit but also the kid will hate that particular dish. there could be couple of reasons he does t want to eat. Might be his tummy is full.
5. Try variants: An egg can be given to the kids in various ways . likewise whatever the dish is try to give it various varities.
please understand each kid is different. Give sometime to yourself, try to understand kids preference style and act accordingly.
Also, keep an eye on the baby's development.
