<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Almost all table manners for children are geared towards making them grow big and strong. This dates back to times when food was not so abundant and it was indeed important for the healthy development of the body to follow certain rules in eating behaviour. In times when there is more than enough food, we need to change the old rules to protect our children from obesity.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is natural for parents to want their children to grow big and strong, but the threshold of being overweight should never be crossed. Even if big and strong people seem to have many advantages in life, thin people have a longer life expectancy and can be just as successful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nowadays, almost all families have enough to eat. So there is usually no need to fear underdevelopment. The opposite is the case, our children eat too much and are getting fatter and fatter! This disordered eating behaviour is encouraged at home by the old, outdated table rules.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Obese children become obese adults. They suffer the consequences of poor eating behaviour for the rest of their lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The following table rules used to be considered good, but should no longer be used today to prevent children from developing eating disorders.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
1. stay at the table until everyone has finished eating. It may be polite to wait until everyone at the table has finished their meal, but when it comes to weight control, spending more time at the dinner table is generally detrimental. The longer you sit at the table, the more you eat. Even if constantly getting up from the table is uncomfortable for parents, we should not forget that we are dealing with children and not miniature adults. After all, children have a lot of energy and cannot be tamed by forced politeness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
2. don't dawdle while eating. We should actually educate ourselves to dawdle more, because the main problem with overweight people is that they eat too quickly. Eating slowly is better. The feeling of fullness is delayed and we usually continue to eat even though we have already had enough. Playing with food is another way of eating more slowly and should not necessarily be prevented. (Unless the food ends up on the floor).<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
3. do not talk while eating. Of course you shouldn't talk with your mouth full, but it's okay to talk between bites. If children are forced to concentrate on the food without saying a word, they will inevitably eat more and faster. It also makes the meal more interesting if you talk.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
4 Eat your vegetables. Of course you should make sure that your children eat vegetables. However, it is wrong to force them to eat their vegetables. This teaches them not to like vegetables because they associate them with something negative. It is the parents' job to prepare the vegetables in such a way that the children like them or to only give them the vegetables that they like.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n
5. why don't you try it! It doesn't work with children to let them try new foods that they haven't chosen themselves. They generally don't like what they are supposed to try anyway. At some point, children have to realise on their own that they want to try something new.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
6. eat even more! Parents often misunderstand how much food their child needs and how much they don't need. If you put enough food in front of a child, it will eat enough without needing encouragement. No child will go hungry voluntarily. If a child does not want to eat at the set meal times, they may not be hungry at the moment, but should be given the opportunity to eat later.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
7. snacks before meals spoil the appetite. Although this is true, it is not necessarily a bad thing as long as the snacks are the right ones. A child who is prone to obesity can eat fruit between meals. If it curbs their appetite, that's a good thing. If children are made to wait for food, they tend to gobble more hastily when it finally arrives at the table.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
8. eat the plate empty. Parents cannot know when a child is full. All too often, adults put too much on the plate and then force children to stuff everything into their stomachs. When the child is full, they don't need to eat any more.<\/p>\n
