als Nanny of ouder herken je het vast wel, je hebt je uitgesloofd voor een lekkere lunch of diner, maar het lukt op geen enkele manier om je kind te laten eten. Frustratie is waarschijnlijk het eerste gevoel dat er bij je opkomt, maar dit lost uiteindelijk vrij weinig op. Maar hoe zorg je er uiteindelijk toch voor dat je kind gaat eten? Hieronder een aantal tips!
Be creative
Serve the food in a creative way. A funny face consisting of healthy vegetables makes it a lot more fun to eat for a child.
Hide the vegetables
Veel ouders kunnen dit beamen: het verstoppen van groenten maakt het een stuk makkelijker om je kind dit te laten eten. Het internet staat er gelukkig tegenwoordig vol mee, dus ga op zoek naar leuke en lekkere recepten. Denk hierbij aan pastasauzen waar soms wel tot 8 groentes in verstopt zitten, of een lekkere smoothie met wat bloemkool, broccoli of spinazie. Je kinderen groenten laten eten is nog nooit zo makkelijk geweest!
Cooking together!
Try to involve your (babysitter) child while cooking. You don't have to let him cut anything immediately, but ask him to peel the eggs, spread the bread or wash the vegetables. There is a greater chance that he will be curious about what it tastes like.
Eten moet een feestje zijn!
Eating should be enjoyable and fun, this is an important foundation to pass on to your child for the rest of his life. Make dessert part of the meal and do not use it as a punishment or reward. There is no point in punishing your child if he does not eat well.
Try to reward the moments when he eats well and make the moment at the table enjoyable together.
Offer the same food more often
Children need to taste about 10 times before they get used to a taste. So don't give up immediately if your child doesn't enjoy your new dish, but keep trying.
