Develop Healthy Eating Habits in Your Children
A)What do you think your children are served at school? The children were served chips and other "junk foods"(powder and water for soup!)on a daily basis. They shunned any vegetables placed on their plates despite genuine efforts made by the cooks at the canteens to make them food from fresh vegetables. Wastage of food is an enormous issue in these canteens. This article will be focused mostly on vegetables because these are the main foods which are a problem for children.
B)Educate your children about the different types of vegetables. Try the following experiment. Take some junk foods like chips, burgers, nuggets, etc. and add a few vegetables like beet, spinach, watercress, celery, or choose any other vegetables from this list of culinary vegetables and ask your kid the names of each food item. I’ll bet you that your child will know all the junk foods and will fail to know the names of about 30% of the vegetables you’ll place in front of him/her. So the first thing I’ll recommend is to familiarize your kids with the different vegetables there are, their tastes, their textures, their colors, their flavors in food. Let them actually experience the joy of fresh vegetables and hopefully this will help them get rid of the bad image vegetables ingrained in children’s minds.
C)Stop rewarding your kids. Most parents try to bribe their children into eating vegetables by coaxing them with rewards. This kind of behavior will instill the idea that vegetables are something that they are forced to eat for a reward. If there are no rewards, your children won’t bother eating the vegetables. If you are doing this, you must STOP it now because you will only be fooling yourself and your kids for a "short period". If you want your kids to gain healthy eating habits for the rest of his/her life, you must start by explaining to them why eating vegetables are good for them. They won’t be able to understand this at first but be inflexible(not forceful). Explain each time that kids must eat vegetables to stay healthy and smart.
D)Stop punishing your kids. Like the rewarding kids, there are some parents who go to extreme measures in order to make their children finish their meals. These experiences will make the children create an aversion for vegetables. Don’t shove the vegetables down his/her throat but rather be patient and take the time to explain to your children that vegetables will do their health good.
E)Actually cook them food. Most parents actually buy foods for their kids or just microwave something they put together like the "powder and water to make soup" food. Most of the instantaneous foods which take just a few minutes to cook are actually junk foods. Let your kids taste a real carrot soup with real carrots in it instead of just powder and water. If you are like me and don’t have enough time on your hands, just wake up one hour earlier to cook food and get your spouse to help you if you are married. You may also want to cook in large quantities and freeze the food Next time you want to serve the foods, just heat them. If you do not know how to cook, it’s never late to learn.
F)Limit the pocket money. Kids today have too much money and not enough control. Teaching kids how to manage money is one of the biggest challenges facing any parent. If you can teach your child the difference between needs and wants, how to budget and how to save, your child will know more than many adults. Limit their pocket money so that they don’t buy candy or a chocolate bar every time they are hungry. Prepare them a healthy lunch meal instead of giving them money to buy food to eat.
G)Give your kids healthy snacks. Instead of giving him two chocolates, two candies, or one chocolate and biscuit, why not treat him to a chocolate and an apple or a yogurt and some biscuit. Kids must eat sweets but also healthy foods. So create a combination of sweets and healthy foods and each time he wants a chocolate, give him an apple dipped in some chocolate or a chocolate cake with oranges in it. He will like it and also eat healthily at the same time.
H)Hide the vegetables in the dishes. Despite your various attempts and you find your kid still not enjoying the vegetable you have cooked for him, then it is time for you to resort to some guerrilla tactics. You must try to hide the vegetables in the dishes you prepare for him. You can puree vegetables for pasta sauces or you put the vegetables on a pizza. You can also make shakes and smoothies from fresh vegetables. There are many sneaky ways to prepare dishes with vegetables which are not so apparent If you are discovered by your kids, you may be accused of "cheating" but at least you are sacrificing yourself for the goods of your children.
I)Encourage family meals. Children get some motivation and actually love the family atmosphere where everybody sits around the table for a meal. Even if you are busy all day, at least take some time to enjoy a meal with your children. Learn to know what they are not eating. Encourage them to eat by telling them how such a vegetable will benefit their health.
J)Make them watch educational cartoons on food and nutrition. Children are easily influenced by what they watch on TV. A cartoon from Ireland known as Food Dudes is already getting children hooked on vegetables. The Food Dudes are 4 preteens called Razz, Rocco, Charlie and Tom who fight against the evil Junk Punks(General Junk and his sidekicks)who are depriving the world of fruits and veggies! The teens get their superpowers by consuming healthful foods like raspberries(Razz), broccoli(Rocco), carrots(Charlie)and tomatoes(Tom).
K)And last but not least, be a model to your kids. Avoid bad eating habits in front of your children as children are very intelligent persons and they can learn very quickly to emulate your eating habits. Also if you’re practicing healthy eating habits, it’s a lot easier to convince children to do the same. Kids are very smart nowadays. You will lose many battles at first but you will win the war eventually if you stick to the above guidelines. Use your imagination.
The children who are punished for not eating vegetables by their parents will create an aversion for vegetables.
选项
答案
D
解析
根据题目的punished和aversion可以定位到D段。该段2句表示有些父母为了让小孩吃完饭菜,会采用极端做法,这里的“极端做法”就是指该段首句提到的“惩罚小孩”,而第3句明确表示这样做会让孩子产生厌恶感,结合这三句即为题目信息。
