Tips for Training Children to be Disciplined and Independent when Eating
Training children for discipline and independence can be started from daily activities such as eating. The following tips are shared by Mommy Ratna Sari Nur Holik from the Babyologist.
Infusing a habit with children since childhood will greatly affect their future.
One of them starts from a small thing, disciplined in terms of eating. I am the type of mother who is really NO if the child eats must be carried and carried and walking. Far from before Shanum MPASI, my husband and I really prepared everything related to MPASI. We often discuss how and how we "tell" Shanum that eating is not just the process of putting food into the mouth. More than that we want Shanum to know that eating is something to be grateful for. Eat it needs. Eating is not a game.
And how do we teach children independently by eating alone? Easy? Of course, not, it all takes a long time and process.
And this is the way I do so that children are disciplined and independent in terms of eating:
1. Get used to children sitting when eating, not while carrying especially walking.
2. Accompany the child. Children will always need support from their parents, the presence of their parents makes them feel safe and will be more optimistic and confident when learning and meeting new things.
3. Do not have other activities when accompanying children to eat. For example, his parents even play gadgets or watch TV. Children too, do not have other activities while eating during the disciplined learning process in terms of eating.
4. But don't be too focused so the child gets bored. For example, can while explaining and introducing any food that the child is eating.
5. I believe in "children see, children do". Always invite your child to eat together. So he can see how his parents eat. So show how to eat well and right. Because with frequent involvement in a habit, children will be interested and quickly imitate.
6. Position it as comfortable as possible when it's time to eat. Shanum myself has made it a habit to sit on a high chair/baby chair when I eat from the age of 6 months to be exact when I start MPASI.
7. Teach children to eat alone so that the child is independent. But slowly, see the child's ability. If the child is seen to be able to hold the spoon, you can immediately practice and teach the child to eat using a spoon. If not, give finger food to make it easier for children to eat their own food. So do not force it, slowly according to the child's ability.
8. Patient and consistent. That's the key. Don't give up quickly Moms. Everything needs a process. Moreover, it is a new thing for children. Appreciate each process. Appreciate their abilities. Give full trust to the child so that he is also confident and confident that he can.
9. Compact with your husband or with people at home. Do not let us as parents desperately instill good habits but instead break them with others. The child must be confused.
10. Involve the child in every positive activity in the house. It's not just a matter of eating. So that children get used to without being forced.
