Twelve ways to stimulate children's appetite

Many children have poor appetite and are picky eaters, and this problem often gives parents a headache. There are many ways to stimulate a child's appetite. Understand the child's preferences and personality, and know what he likes and dislikes. Eating something sour before meals, such as plums, can help stimulate the child's appetite. Feed the child less junk food, encourage more exercise, and give him more games. These methods are all effective.

First, and most basic, you need to carefully observe your child's usual preferences, what he likes to eat and what he doesn't like to eat. Children generally prefer to eat softer foods.

Second, tell stories. Children are born with endless curiosity and always like to listen to adults telling them new things. So, when you feed your children, you can tell them some simple and easy-to-understand stories while they are eating. This way, the children will maintain a constant sense of hunger and eat obediently.

Third, do proper exercise. Children are naturally active, so we can let our children do some appropriate exercise. Exercise can not only keep children healthy, but also make them feel hungry, so that they will pester you for food.

Fourth, children should not be given snacks before meals. Frequently giving children snacks before meals will make them develop bad habits of being picky eaters, and they will never want to eat at mealtimes.

Fifth, don’t let your children eat too much puffed food, fried food, overly spicy food, or overly greasy food. Eating it into the child’s stomach will greatly affect the child’s appetite, leading to a poor appetite.

Sixth, plums. You can give your children a few more plums. Plums are acidic and will greatly stimulate children's appetite when they enter their stomachs. They will also make children hungry easily. Once children are hungry, they will naturally go to eat.

Seventh, tangerine peel. Eating tangerine peel is also an effective way to help children stimulate their appetite. Tangerine peel has a refreshing and slightly sour taste, which is very suitable for children. It can also maintain a good appetite after eating.

eighth. Steamed eggs. Steamed eggs have a refreshing, non-greasy taste and a soft texture. It is a side dish that children love very much.

Ninth, hawthorn cake. Let your child chew a few hawthorn cakes, and his appetite will increase greatly. Similarly, hawthorn cake tastes slightly sour, which helps digestion and increases appetite.

Tenth, stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets. Giving children a few stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets can also achieve good results, helping children get rid of the problem of picky eating and eat obediently.

Eleventh, bananas. Bananas have a light taste, soft texture, and are easy to digest, making them very suitable for children.
