Teaching the right eating habits to your preschooler
Do not put your hands on the table! sit straight! do not chew with mouth open!
You might well be shouting at the top of your voice to your preschooler, but does he ever lend an ear to you? of course not. he might be doing just the opposite of what you are saying or not even caring of what you say to him.
So, how do you go about making your preschooler listen to you?
One simple step is making him learn through practice. Yes! I can hear you cry out immediately "how would he practice if he does not listen".
Well, you could arrange a tea party for your kid. Ask him to choose what he wants to have for tea. You could even go one step ahead and ask him to bring some friends home for tea.
Before the party tell him what the rules are.
- Sit straight with your back to the backrest of your chair.put your hands on the table.
- Do not put your hands on the table.
- Sip the drinks served, no gulping.
- do not chew with your mouth open.
- do not speak with food in your mouth and so on.
Do not compel him to do anything make it fun. You can give a prize to the child who abides by all rules. You can even let the child have a special real cooking party and so on.
