Parenting is one of the difficult tasks to encounter in marriage. Feeding of toddlers has never been easy as most of them are choosy when it comes to food. They love eating what they like and reject what the parent knows is best for them. To end this struggle between a parent and toddler over the choice of food to eat, here are the best tips you can use to easily feed your toddler:
Prepare food for the whole family. Kids have a habit of eating from adult’s plates and once they realizer their food has been tasting bland, your toddler will soon realize there is a difference in taste and he or she will never eat their food again.
At that young age, toddlers are at a curious age where they want to discover everything. This means touching food with their hands. To keep it less messy for everyone, feed them foods they can hold and feed themselves.
Avoid forcing your toddler to feed, instead feed them when they are hungry and in need of food. Don’t be too rigid with your toddler’s food. Don’t fight them when they refuse to eat. To make sure they don’t sleep hungry once in a while bend the rules and give them a healthy option they will enjoy.
Despite many of us skipping breakfast, it is one of the most important meals of the day for your child too. Jump start your toddler’s day with some real food. Provide them with food low in sugar, organic yogurt, porridge, whole grain bread with peanut butter, fruit, and eggs. This is the best way to start a great day for your toddler.
