This entry participates in the 1st Edition of the Carnival of Nutrition, under the theme Teaching eat, teach them grow.
Globalization, marketing, financial situation ... everything plays a role in feeding importunate our children, but certainly the mainstay of this power is education. How we saw in the paper by Lucia, we have an arduous task ahead, parents, grandparents, uncles, teachers, media, and so on. From my point of view one of the most important pillars of the family.
When we go out to eat with children, we first shuffle is a 'restaurant' where they serve food easy to eat and where at the same time they have a fun, so have a quiet dinner. If at that point we stopped to think what we eat, perhaps we knew turned and we went to another restaurant where the food is real, and cooked with care, even with distractions for children free. We must realize that this type of behavior, are recorded as part of their knowledge and approach to the outside world. When young and have your money, there certainly is a picnic with friends in these places so there is usually no course is food.
Another common mistake is to reward our kids with occasional meals out, empty of nutrients or sweet snack full of colors and empty calories, for instance. We think it is an act harmless, but begin to link reward with these junk foods, teaching the child to identify food as a nutrient emotional, not a biological nutrient is as it should be. This eventually can lead to many eating disorders of all kinds.
While preparing the vegetable quiche, they played with the dough.
From my understanding of the education of my children, the only way I can think of is to share my passion for healthy cooking and eating with them. Samuel is 8 years old and is a child who does not like pastries, however likes to eat and try to instill good habits. Ariadne is still small, but is beginning to define their tastes tend to eat lots of fresh fruit so. Whenever I speak of the virtues of food and evil that others do. And it works, children are very aware of good and evil, and do not understand why we hurt with our actions. It is not obsessed, but if they are aware that an apple is healthier snack than other alternatives.
Children cook me less because Samuel is busier, however small, is messing with me every day, every dish presented in this blog has a small contribution. It is true that sometimes prefers to go to his room to make your cream of zucchini for their 'babies', but are the least.
Another important factor in educating is to share the table eating. Distribute the food quietly, leave it to those who serve them, experiment with new flavors, and especially to see that what we eat we adults is consistent with what we try to transmit. Thus they prove food without prejudice. Besides contributing to the development of social skills, emotional and interpersonal our children, we share with them a while. What more you want.
