How to cultivate children's good eating habits

1. Organization of pre-meal activities 1. Quiet activities before meals help children to adjust their emotions, and the main purpose of quiet activities before meals is to let children eat in a good and happy mood. Try to avoid strenuous exercise before meals, do some quiet activities to make children's excited mood gradually return to calm, such as enjoying the story of "The Rooster and the Leak", let children know that they should look around when eating, and if they don't concentrate, they will make the desktop, floor and body dirty, and educate children to concentrate when eating. The story "Little oriole eats food" makes children vividly understand that if they don't eat, they will have no strength, can't fly, and singing is lighter than mosquitoes, which is embarrassing, thus understanding the role of food on the human body. And through some children's songs, subtly tell children some small etiquette when eating. You can also let your child guess what to eat today before meals, introduce your child to today's food and introduce the benefits of these foods to your baby's health. The children eat with joy and expectation. It is very important to wash your hands before eating. We let children know the function of small hands and learn how to wash their hands through nursery rhymes such as "Small hands are really useful" and "Small hands are washed". Children gradually mastered the correct order and method of washing hands, and developed a good habit of washing hands before meals. Second, the organization during the meal 1. A relaxed and pleasant dining atmosphere creates a clean and tidy dining environment. For the children who performed well in the meal, the teacher recognized them with his eyes, praised them in the form of friendly touching, and encouraged them to take the initiative to eat. We must tolerate children who are at fault in diet. If some children drop food and leftovers on the floor or accidentally pour food on the floor, when this happens, we should not reprimand, order or criticize, but adopt a cordial and caring attitude and be tolerant and understanding of the children. Whether a child has an appetite for eating is closely related to his mood. Therefore, teachers should not criticize children before and after meals. For example, if a child hits someone or does something wrong, the teacher should wait until he finishes eating, so as not to affect the child's eating mood. In the process of eating, never let the child cry, so as not to suck food into the trachea. A relaxed and harmonious spiritual environment and an equal and cordial relationship between teachers and students can make children feel happy and relaxed, which is conducive to stimulating their appetite. 2. Correct the situation that children are partial to food and picky eaters (1) Pre-meal induction method According to the characteristics of children's imitation, we use the rendering of collective atmosphere to set an example for them with emotional contagion. Before eating, the teacher consciously sniffed and exaggerated: "Wow, today's food is really delicious. Look, there are pig's trotters stewed with soybeans. How delicious! It is very nutritious and must be delicious. " The teacher's warm and friendly tone aroused the children's appetite, so the children also learned my "greedy" style and began to eat. Some children in the class don't like vegetables. Many children frown when they meet vegetables, but they just don't want to eat them. I will tell them that white rabbits like vegetables and radishes, and they will become as white as white rabbits, as beautiful as white rabbits and jump as high as white rabbits. Hearing this, the children all lowered their heads and began to eat green vegetables, which were delicious and fast. For kindergarten children, teachers use exaggerated movements and interesting stories to attract children's desire to eat, and the effect is very good. I also give them nice names according to the characteristics of vegetables to stimulate children's desire to eat. For example, cauliflower tells children that it is a little tree of wisdom. At the same time, I use the characteristics of children's love to imitate animated characters to tell them what kind of food is loved by which animated character, so that children also love to eat this kind of food. For example, eating spinach soup, some children don't like spinach, so I asked a few questions to encourage them. I asked, "Have children read Popeye's cartoons?" The children all said they had seen it, and then I asked, "So what's Popeye's favorite food?" Many children immediately said spinach. I said, "Yes, Popeye will become magical after eating spinach. He can accomplish many things that he could not have done. After eating spinach, he can fly into the sky and become a spaceship for children to play in the sky ... "The children listened to me and couldn't wait to eat it. This spinach soup is an unprecedented best seller. For example, when eating tomatoes, I will say, "This is the favorite of Tianyanniu. Eating tomatoes will make you stronger. Mermaids love kelp, so they look so good ... "I use my children's love to watch cartoons and imitate the psychology of animated characters to encourage them to eat all kinds of food, so as to ensure a balanced food. (2) Fill in less and add more, and gradually increase the amount. When the teacher gives the children rice, he deliberately doesn't fill too much and is too full, leaving some dishes and rice to add after eating. Because giving children too many meals at a time will make them feel scared, and facing too many full meals will increase their psychological burden and produce fear of difficulties. And children are very interested in filling rice and adding rice. Every time they add rice, they will be very proud and increase their confidence. Therefore, when I add meals to my children, I always deliberately don't add too much or too much, and encourage them to add them after eating. This will neither reduce appetite nor make children feel afraid of eating. Some children are so picky about food that they can't change at once. For such children, the method of "gradually increasing the amount" can be adopted. If some young children don't eat green vegetables, they should give less at first, and then increase gradually to let them adapt gradually. The teacher encouraged them in time: "Great! A little more! " ┅┅ "Today, you learned to eat carrots. It's amazing. " With the teacher's repeated encouragement, it can arouse children's appetite and help them get rid of picky eaters gradually. (3) It is children's nature to imitate the seating arrangement. Peer role models can attract children's attention and stimulate their interest in imitation. At the same time, teachers should consciously put children who are good at eating together with children who are partial to food and slow to eat, and use the role models around them to drive them. In this way, they can see that their good friends around them eat so well, are infected and encouraged, and gradually eat fast and fragrant. (4) praise and reward methods praise is a great psychological identity for children. When children make progress in some aspects, teachers can give timely affirmation and encouragement to effectively stimulate children's positive emotions and further consolidate their existing good habits and skills. In the process of eating, teachers encourage children's good behavior, even a little progress, such as giving children a small red flower, a small sticker, a small card, or a smile, a hug and other spiritual rewards, can mobilize children's enthusiasm and promote the consolidation of their good behavior. Third, after-dinner activities organize children to spread out two small hands, put towels on their faces, and read nursery rhymes: "Wipe here, wipe there, wipe your mouth, wipe your nose, wipe your eyes ..." Although their movements are not so coordinated, they can all finish the whole face-washing process with great interest, and good habits are also formed unconsciously. Because of individual differences, children eat fast or slow, so I organize the children who finish eating first to sit by the side, wash their faces and wipe their hands, and tell them not to run around after meals, or they will have a stomachache. When the children have finished eating, I will take them to do some quiet activities, such as playing desktop toys, or playing some finger games and watching cartoons. Fourth, family education cultivates children's good eating habits. It is not enough to cultivate children's good eating habits in kindergarten. It also needs the consistency and unified action of their families to receive the expected results. Parents' living habits directly affect the establishment of children's eating habits. I use the class website and class time to introduce the common problems of children's eating in the park and the serious consequences of partial eclipse and picky eaters on children, so as to attract parents' attention. And often communicate with individual parents of children with bad eating habits to find out the reasons, acquire knowledge and seek solutions. Parents are required to set an example at home and be cautious in words and deeds to help their children improve their bad eating habits. Teachers timely feedback the children's performance in the park to parents, asking parents to tell the teacher truthfully about their children's situation at home, so that the two sides can cooperate with each other and actively teach their children to establish good eating habits in a harmonious environment.
