Forcing Him to Eat

My sister doesn’t like to hear that his baby is underweight. My nephew is just 11 months old. We usually tell her that if her son doesn’t it much he will surely make up for it by giving him snack foods like pretzels, biscuits, cereals, and other nutritious small meal. Forcing a child to eat can cause behavioral difficulty associated to food.

  1. hmmm, i did not know that. my kid is also a picky eater and we have been forcing her. maybe we should be gentler from now on

  2. we have been the same with our son. but we learned a lesson that the more you push them to eat, the more they will resist. so now we don't force him to eat and when he goes hungry he looks for food and that's the time we offer him good food that he needs. and now we learned to understand that kids really get into this stage.
