In the beginning, my daughter is not a picky eater, she will finish the food I prepare for her, after all, it is the healthiest and delicious food from my point of view.However, by the time my daughter went to kindergarten, I started to find that she would refuse to eat anything resembling vegetables and would constantly compare sweets brought by other students. The more I push a certain food, the more she rejects it, which is driving me crazy.It's been quite a learning process in terms of helping my kids enjoy healthy food while still respecting their need for autonomy, trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. I'm sure every mother goes through some emotional roller coaster when it comes to food, especially with a first-born child.I'm happy to say that I think I've finally found a good balance of letting go of control and encouraging healthy eating habits through education, demonstration and entertainment rather than forcing.For example, I would tell a story about being a picky eater and having no strength and energy, because strength comes from food. Of course, each food has a different color. In addition to adding color and increasing appetite, foods of different colors contain different nutrients, and their nutritional value and health effects are also different;The richer the color of the food, the more antioxidants such as plant pigments, vitamins, minerals and amino acids, and more comprehensive nutrition. Therefore, I often encourage children to eat different colors of food to achieve healthy results. Red, orange, yellow, green, brown – the five colors can turn a child into the superhero she likes. Green vegetables can promote peristalsis of the large intestine, help defecation, and remove toxins from the body. When my daughter has a stomachache, she will automatically admit to eating less vegetables and ask me to help her prepare vegetables and fruits.Color makes people spiritual, and color makes people healthy. Eat color, eat healthy.
