The easiest way to feed a child is to give him what he wants most. Modern children increasingly ask for cartoons and gadgets.
Parents who are faced with the task of cramming a bowl of soup into their child do just that, without thinking at all about the consequences.
Experts explain what is really hidden behind this innocent fun.
Why You Shouldn't Show Cartoons to Children While Eating
1. The child’s attention at these moments is focused not on food, but on the cartoon, which leads to disruption of the digestive processes.
This is a scientifically proven fact. Concentrating on food helps to digest food properly.
2. At the same time, an unhealthy habit of eating in front of the TV is formed, which in the future will affect the feeding of the child in conditions where there is no TV.
That is, we can talk about a violation of the formation of the child’s nervous system.
3. It is worth remembering about conscious eating. This can only be discussed if the child eats in a calm atmosphere.
It is also important to remember the harm of cartoons during meals if there is a problem with speech or mental development.
In such situations, it is necessary to think about strengthening the emotional connection.
For reference
A cartoon is a frame-by-frame recording of images or objects created by an animator on film, video or digital media.
