Cheat Sheet: Easy Tricks To Give Proper Nutrition To Your Child
According to a recent study, food that is presented to children as "healthy" is often perceived to be 'not-so-tasty' by them. As a result, they eat very less of such foods, even when their parents force them.
Parents often want to provide proper nutrition to their child by any means possible. However, they face a major challenge here, as kids don't want to eat anything healthy. Here lies an opportunity which can be leveraged by them. They need to be smart here by understanding the child's psyche. Changing the way one presents healthy food to a child can actually make all the difference.
So what we, as parents, should do to make nutrition more sure for our child?
The answer does not have a single answer. First of all, you, as a parent, must know of your child's nutritional needs. Your child requires carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals to be given in proper quantities. However, some children need more nutrients in their food when compared to others. Hence, you must be aware of your child's needs.
The next point of concern is a child's eating pattern. Our modern-day children are very smart and, at times, get to know how parents trick them while trying to make them eat. Therefore, nowadays, parents need to be smarter in dealing with these "modern-day kids".
Let's take a look at some of the tricks that will help you in making nutrition more sure for your kid and, trust us, your child is going to love it.

Come
up
with
a
nutrition
plan
with
a
fun
schedule.
Ensure
that
you
include
a

variety
of
foods
in
order
to
provide
vitamins,
minerals,
proteins,
carbohydrates
and
fats
in
the
right
proportions.
Don't
forget
to

all
the
necessary
nutrients
in
it.
#2

In

You

when

dealing
with
your
child.
Involve
your
children
and
take
their
opinion
when
you
are
preparing
the
food
chart
or
schedule.
When
their
opinions
are
considered,
children
would
feel
interested.
They
would
never
say

to
the
food
you
offer
when
you
consider
their
opinions
and
involve
them
in

#3

Offer
An
Incentive
As
human
beings,
we
all
love
rewards
or
incentives.
This
applies
to
kids
as
well.
So,
tell
your
kids
that
they
can
enjoy
TV
for
an
extra
hour
only
if
they
finish
drinking
the
glass
of
Horlicks
milk

In

every
single
day.

your
task
of
making
nutrition
more

for
your
kids,
effortless.
#5
Trick
To
Making

More
Sure:
Presentation
Is
Everything
Ironically
though
milk
is
nutritious,
most
of
the
kids
find
it
boring
to
drink
it
every
day.
This
is
where
your
role
as
a
parent
comes
in.
Make
the
food
presentable.
How?
Try
giving
your
child
some
bland
milk
first,
and
later
make
him/her
happy
by
adding
some
Horlicks
to
it.
This
can,
for
sure,
make
them
relish
the
yummy
taste
of
the
drink
packed
with
proper
nutrition.
#6

Encourage
Your
Child
Encourage
your
child
to
make
his/her
cup
of
milk
taste
more
delicious
by
adding
Horlicks
to
it.
Allow
them
to
stir
it
well
and
then
watch
the
magic
unfold.
Your
kid
will
never
say
no
to
this
amazing
healthy
drink.
And
on
the
other
hand,
you
will
be
glad
that
you
are
making

for
your
child
by
adding
Horlicks

the
milk,
thereby
helping
in
his/her
growing
needs.

Junk
Food

really
works
with
kids.
Since
your
kids
love
all
kinds
of
junk
foods
such
as
pizza,
burger,
pasta,
noodles,
etc.,
they
will
love
eating
any
food
that
will
attract
them
by
its
appearance.
There
is
a
simple
trick
for
that.
If
you
want
your

then
fry
some
veggies
in
olive
oil.
Make
an
omelet
and
hide
the
veggies
inside
the
omelet.
Add
some
healthy
sauce

things
that
your
child
likes
such
as
toppings
made
out
of

dolls,
toys,
teddies,
etc.
