01.12.2023 00:30

In principle, it is not advisable to talk while eating.

But many parents make an even more serious mistake: they utter dangerous phrases.

As a result, family lunch or dinner turns into a real test for the child.

So, what should mom and dad not say while their son or daughter is eating?

"A spoon for mom..."

Of course, parents of a small child want to feed their child.

Just don’t force your baby to eat “one more spoonful” of porridge or soup.

If the child is full and you continue to feed him, then nothing good will come of it.

"You won't leave the table until you eat the dish."

Parents of older children act differently: they forbid the child to leave until the plate is empty.

This is a bad approach. Don't force your baby to eat food that he clearly doesn't enjoy.

"Sit up straight! Hold the spoon correctly!"

It is desirable that the child sits at the table correctly. But it is advisable to tell your son or daughter about the mistakes made after the meal is over.

If you make claims to your baby right while he is eating, the child may start to get nervous. And this will negatively affect his appetite and digestion.
