5 Tips to Make Children Want to Eat Meat

Mom may have faced a phase in which the child begins to picky foods. I've also experienced it, Mom. When entering the age of two years, the Kids began to refuse to eat meat. Actually this is understandable Mom, given the texture of meat is generally dry and tough. Usually at the age of 1-3 years, Kids Teeth have grown, even up to 20 teeth, but some children may be still difficult to chew meat. Even so, I need to understand that meat has many benefits to grow the Kids one. Well, in order to continue to meet the nutritional needs, I use five ways to overcome the following meat-eating difficulty, Mom:

1. Cut Meat in Kids Shapes

Does your child not like to eat meat because of the texture that is difficult to chew? Mother can cut with tear off the meat or even chop the meat. In this way, the kids one will more easily chew and swallow the meat that has been destroyed. This method can be practiced in the menus such as stir-fry beef, cakes, or spaghetti.

2. Create a Variation Meat Menu

It could be that Kids refused to eat meat just because bored with the menu that's all that, ma'am. So from that, let's start creating delicious meat menu variants and take the Kids cook with Mom, yes. In addition to creating quality time with it, this way can also make the Kids more spirit in eating the results of his own cuisine. Mom can try serving the delicious baked spaghetti menu from Mom & Toddler.

3. Replace Red Meat with White Meat

Did you know that red meat has a stronger taste than fish or chicken? In fact, if not properly treated, texture can be hard and difficult to swallow. That is why, to overcome this problem, you can try to replace red meat with white meat that can be obtained from chicken and fish. Nutrition contained in white meat is not less good with red meat, Mom. From the online articles I read, white meat is rich in Protein, Calcium, Zinc, and Vitamins A, B, B6, B12, and K. The content is good to meet child nutrition.

4. Get Iron Substitute from Nuts

Did you know? The meat is a good source of iron. But if your child often refuses to eat meat, you can meet the needs of Iron from other sources, such as beans. In fact, nuts have Kids saturated fat (unhealthy fats that can trigger heart disease), and are rich in protein that can support muscle tissue and help growth, and repair Kids body tissues.

5. Focus On Protein Source Besides Meat

It is true that the Kids need Protein source to support its growth period. Well, if the Kids one still rejects the above, it's time for Mom to focus on giving him Protein from eggs. The reason, two eggs have the same protein content with a portion of beef three ounces, you know. In addition, the content of choline and DHA in it can also support the growth of the child's brain, Mom.

That's the way that I apply when Kids is hard to eat meat to support the Kids grow smart and strong. Do you have any other tips & tricks? Come on for a way to cope with a difficult child to eat that you do at home
