Encourage children to eat well

WHAT childhood memories
are devoid of a dinner table
battle between parent and
child over those few remain-
ing healthy green beans or
delicious liver?

And, what conscientious
parent has not been left in
despair when faced with that
ever-present question-why?

Experts in the field of child
nutrition and behavior differ

in their views regarding
children’s eating preferences
and whether or not parents
should force their children to
eat foods that, although un-
popular, are nutritiously
sound.

Although it is generally
agreed that a child who feels
full should not be forced to
finish everything on the
plate, there inevitably comes

a time when parents need to
urge their children to con-
sume beneficial foods.

When this happens, it
might be helpful if a child’s
‘“‘Why?”’ is answered. If
children see importance in
eating a particular food, they
will no doubt eat with more
enthusiasm.

For example, the nutr-

not the most popular food
for anyone, can be emphasiz-
ed by relating it to day-to-day
activity in a child’s life.

As a preventative measure
against nutritional anemia
and its accompanying
fatigue, liver contains large
quantities of iron and can
help a child play better and
harder.

visual process, but increase
resistance to infection.
Although children
sometimes welcome a day off
from school despite the run-
ny nose that caused it, they
are quick to realize the im-
portance of eating beans and
spinach to guard against
missing a favorite movie or
long-awaited birthday party.

Unfortunately, building
strong bones and teeth does
not hold much ground in the
face of a plate full of wilting
vegetables.

And, to increase their
value in the eyes of children
requires some homework for
parents.
