Medical Video: 15 Weird Ways To Sneak Food Into Class / Back To School Pranks
Bringing a child a box of food to eat during the afternoon break can be a special ritual. In addition to aiming to save expenses, bringing children's school supplies is also able to control the possibility of buying snacks that are not guaranteed health and hygiene. However, sometimes you may have found leftover rice, side dishes, or even vegetables in a child's lunch box. Eits, don't immediately scold the child! Maybe there is something wrong in the lunch you give.
Parents' mistakes when making children's school supplies
Hobbies don't spend lunch once or twice is still not a problem. However, what if this habit turns out to be often done by children? Before scolding him for this, try to remember first. Perhaps, some of these things you have done when carrying school supplies for children.
1. Portions are too much
The intention of parents is to make sure the child is full to be more focused when studying at school. On the other hand, because breaks are too short, too busy chatting or playing with friends, or already full sometimes makes children reluctant to spend all their lunch.
If this happens almost every day, you should reduce the dosage portion of your child's school supplies and adjust it to how much lunch is usually spent.
To make sure more, you can ask whether the portion you have given is enough or not while reminding a little, "Sister, the lunch portion has been reduced, do not let it not run out, huh! "
2. Lack of balancing food sources
Toby Amidor, MS, RD, a nutritionist and author of The Healthy Meal Prep Cookbook, stated that one of the various parental mistakes when serving lunch children is to multiply portions in one food source.
Take for example, with the reason that your child is full, then you add carbohydrate sources such as potatoes and rice; or sources of protein from fruits and vegetables you sometimes increase to meet your child's daily fiber intake.
Actually it's not entirely wrong. It's just that, the child may be bored and think "I think salready eaten from earlier, But whynotendless, anyway? "This is what ultimately made the child choose not to spend some of his last mouthfuls.
3. That's the only food menu
Seeing his friends provided with different foods every day, usually it will make children feel inferior because they carry a type of food that is not much different from the previous days.
Though maybe you think there is nothing wrong with giving white rice, omelette, and kale vegetables as stock for children's school yesterday. Followed by providing white rice, scrambled eggs and spinach for the next day. For you at a glance it looks different, but not for children.
Indirectly, bringing the provision of school children actually sharpens your creativity. Yes, because every day you are required to think you have to present a menu of what can arouse your appetite and appetite.
The solution if you really want to give the same type of side dish or vegetable, you should try to add it in a few days and change the way to cook it. For example if today the menu is fried chicken then two days later replace it by giving the chicken soup.
4. Does not involve children in preparing their lunch
The choice of children not to spend part of the provisions that you have prepared is not always because he does not like. The child's ignorance of the food menu available in front of him sometimes becomes another factor why you still find leftovers in his lunch box.
Now consider, have children known what types of food they eat every day? If not, make this a place to introduce children to various dishes, vegetables and fruit.
You can invite children to shop to choose the school lunch menu in the next few days, then involve children cooking together in the kitchen. This step is also beneficial to teach a variety of healthy nutrients that are important for the body's growth process.
Give an explanation in a language that is easy to understand and a fun way, so that it can arouse the spirit of children to want to try various kinds of food.
