How to Encourage Healthy Eating Without Force Feeding?
There are several strategies parents can use to encourage healthy eating without resorting to force feeding:
Set a Routine: Establish regular meal and snack times to create a structured environment around eating. Offer Choices: Provide a variety of healthy food options and let the child choose what they want to eat. Be a Role Model: Children often mimic their parents, so eating a variety of healthy foods yourself can encourage them to do the same. Make Mealtime Enjoyable: Create a positive and stress-free atmosphere during meals to make eating a pleasant experience. Involve the Child: Include your child in food preparation and decision-making to pique their interest in different foods.
