How to eat? Methods of eating

Apart from putting together a meal, the method of eating is also very important.

Watch the details but do not overcomplicate things! Make sure you have nice and clean utensils, properly functioning kitchen appliances and a nicely set table. You should always provide a relaxed atmosphere for each meal.

Direct your child's mind and senses towards eating. During a meal, do not allow children to play, watch TV, or talk on the telephone.

Also, watch the mental and physical state of your child during meals. Do not let them eat while tired because in that case the stomach is tired as well. The best solution is to let them rest 10 to 20 minutes. If you observe negative feelings, anger, or melancholy, the meal should be postponed. The body is instinctive and it is rare to see someone who is nervous or disappointed eat happily. The energy released from food amplifies the basic feelings we have at the time of the meal. Therefore, it is so important to sit down for a meal happy and with a positive attitude.

One more key point: during a meal, correct posture is extremely important!

The child should sit upright with a straight spine so the internal organs are not compressed. In many cases, incorrect height difference between the table and the chairs causes problems and the food is not close enough to the mouth. Make sure the child does not have to hunch over or stretch to reach the food.
