4/c - Gifting

"If you eat this I will give you a piece of yummy chocolate."

This is also a very harmful encouragement. As a result, the child will eat the food without chewing so that he or she will get the sweet dessert even sooner. The barely chewed food in the stomach now gets covered by chocolate. Unfortunately for the stomach, overproduction of acids can already start at such a young age.

Do not tell your child that they are doing you a favour by eating! Mealtime should not be a race that ends in a trophy. Let it remain a natural process.
