Many a times I have seen parents going behind the kids and forcing them to eat. Put one spoon of food in to the kids mouth. The kid will sit with the food in his mouth for sometime and then with difficulty swallow it. Sometimes he will vomit also. Please , please dont do that to your kid.
The kid even though he is small knows what it needs. We need not force them to eat. How can you as a parent know fully a child. You can understand it to a certain extend, but please dont misunderstand that. The child knows what it needs and how much it needs.
Many parents have asked me that how to make the little ones eat food without issues. My suggestion will be Leave the kid to its choice and things will go smooth. From the beginning, just stop when the kid shows sign of fullness of his stomach. Once you get in to this mode, the kid will automatically eat food and stop when it is full. He is also happy, as a parent you are also happy.
And also dont make the kid feel that his lunchtime /dinner time is very special and all. Once he goes in to that mode, he might not like it and might hate food. Rather when you are eating, make him/her sit near you and in between feed him. Once the kid is of age when he can pick things with hand and keep it in his mouth, make him sit with you and then let him eat. In between you can feed him so that he will get a feeling that he is eating on his own.
Try doing like this and I am sure, you will not have much problems in feeding the kid. Please dont put pressure on the kid with respect to food. just imagine if someone is sitting near you and stuffing the food in your mouth and you dont liek the food. The same is the case with the kid, rite.
One major mistake the parents of today's age do is to make the kid sit in front of the TV and give him food. It is easy for the parents, but that is a big mistake I would say. When watching TV, the kid dont know what they are doing. Eating then becomes just mechanical and he is not learning it properly. Dont do that. When eating let him only eat. You can rather talk to him about many things, which he will enjoy. He will then enjoy being with you and also will enjoy the lunch/dinner timings. You can take this as a good oppurtunity to bond with the child
