How To Make A Child Eat - By Education Or Hypnosis?

The requests that are found on different psychological forums and sites are of a different nature, but some, from my point of view, are simply monstrous. For example, this one:

The child does not eat regular food, only chips and gas. Water. Please help, you heard that hypnosis can be suggested that I ate everything

(The spelling and punctuation of the author are preserved).

At first glance, it is a cry for help.

On the second, professional, view - the complete surrender of the parents, the rejection of their parental role, of responsibility.

There is no position, no will, no self-discipline here.

And therefore, from the point of view of such parents, someone else should be responsible for the health and life of the child - either the child himself or a specialist who should hypnotize!child!

Dear Parents! Remember: Your child eats what you feed him.

Everything.

There are no other options and cannot be. He doesn't steal chips in the store, doesn't he find them in the trash?

Everything that he eats, he receives from your hands. It is you who feed your child harmful, non-nutritious food that does not bring any benefit, but brings only harm. In fact, you cripple him and maybe even kill him.

Only you can and should control the menu and diet of your child.

It is not a specialist who should "hypnotize" him, but you - to a responsible parental position.

And, of course, all healthy nutritious foods should be included in the child's menu, I will not list which ones, everyone already knows this.

There are only minor exceptions:

- if the child already has a disease, for example, allergies, etc., in which the body does not tolerate any type of substance, and this is confirmed by a doctor, - or products that, in principle, can be eaten, but the child is literally sick of them.

If you just don't like the food, but there is no gag reflex, then it is possible and necessary to teach and give at least small amounts. Moreover, when the child is small.

Parents often choose the extreme position: either "feed through force", "force", or indulge the whims of children and provide complete freedom in choosing food, even if children choose junk food. Both the one and the other extreme are pernicious.

In what terms can they be expressed?

Control is freedom

Suppression - indulgence

Strength - weakness, etc.

Power is anarchy, etc.

Somewhere between these extremes, a middle ground must be found:

process control, flexibility, reasonable approach, contract, etc.

(This isn't just about nutrition, right?)

You can always find a way out, come up with something, show your parental will, according to the principle:

"The one who has more responsibility has more rights"

But you cannot shift the responsibility for the nutrition of the child onto someone else!

Etymology of the word « upbringing"Directly indicates its origin from the Old Church Slavonic "Pitati"formed with the suffix "-ati" and stem "Pita" (food, bread).

Of course, by education, we mean much more than just saturating the child with food.

But even in such a simple (and for someone - very difficult!) Action, how nutrition manifests your parental role, your impact on the child, and ultimately, the child's physical and psychological health is formed.
