Fussy eating habits of kids

For a mother it’s a day-to-day juggle between healthy food & junk food. More than that to make a your child eat that healthy food.

Before few days in dinner I made a curry of sponge gourd. 😐My kid refused to eat it. So this is a daily drama in my house for vegetables. So on that day I strictly🙍‍♀️ told him that you have to eat this compulsorily otherwise you sleep hungry.

So he made an excuse that I am not hungry now will eat it later. And don’t had his dinner on time. I said ok no issues suddenly at 10.30 PM ⏱ he is asking me for food saying that I am hungry. I gave him the same curry & chapatis. And made him feel the value of food & value of food in our lives.

This happens in every house everyday I guess. And mothers have to find a way out of it to how to feed them some healthy foods with some taste. I use to do the same I make every different type of paratha with different vegetables. To make a healthy breakfast such as beat paratha, manchurian (cabbage, carrot, onion,oregano) paratha, carrot paratha, methi Thepla, palak puris, paneer paratha, cheese paratha all with ghee.

But rather than this I think we should make our children to understand the value of food we get. Once he was not eating khichdi as well. Then I took that khichdi in a polyethylene bag and took him to one of the foot path where people where sleeping. And called a little girl from there for food she ran and came took the bag go back and started eating it. 😀

And than I explain him that there are lakhs of people in our country who don’t get food 🥘. I made him realize the value of food. And after this incident he started eating khichdi & green vegetables as well. I think we should make them understand that whatever leisure they are getting is not of free it takes a lot of hardwork by there parents and they should respect those things.

We should make them habit of turn off the 🚰water while brushing, should switch off the lights 💡when not necessary, should teach them to keep their plates 🍽 after having their lunch or dinner, should keep their shoes 👟 in shoe rack after coming from play ground these are some basic manners which we should teach them from a very young age and not shouting in the older ages.

Now a days parents thinks that whatever things we have not got in our childhood we will fulfill all our kids wishes. But in my opinion they should teach them to value the things as well.

That’s all for today will meet soon. Up till that stay healthy stay happy.
