Patient's question:
In recent times, I haven't been eating regularly, and I don't know if there are any good methods for this. Even without snacks, I only eat a few bites of food and then stop. For the past few months, there's been nothing else. What kind of assistance would you like: responses online...Doctor's answer:
Not eating dinner properly, 99% of the responsibility lies with the parents. On the other hand, there is indiscriminate indulgence, while on the other hand, forcing children to defecate, causing some infants and young children to have emotional outbursts as soon as they sit at the dinner table, crying endlessly. Appetite is closely related to the nervous and mental state. Using methods such as coaxing, deceiving, or scolding to force children to defecate will make them develop resistance and psychological aversion to food. These behaviors not only fail to achieve the effect of making children eat dinner properly but also have a negative impact on their physical and mental health.Recommendations:
It should be clear: children's meals should be implemented while ensuring daily nutritional supply, in a joyful manner. Dinner and vegetables should be the foundation of children's meals, with other foods serving as supplementary snacks and in smaller quantities. If this order is reversed, it will inevitably interfere with the intake of necessary proteins, vitamins, and trace elements, not only making it easy for children to develop unhealthy eating habits, such as meat aversion, pickiness, or overeating, but also disrupting their nutritional balance.
The above is the advice for the question "My child never eats dinner lately, and I don’t know if there’s a good solution." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
