4 Ways to Get Rid of Children When Having Eating Problems

Liputan6.com, Jakarta – The process of eating is an important thing for children. When parents place great importance on the results of feeding without appreciating the process, then parents and children will clash.

As stated by a specialist child from RSIA Limijati Bandung, West Java, Frecillia Regina, according to him, the clash between parents and children during eating is the silence movement (GTM) in the form of eating to be carried, forced to eat, eating while walking, and eating while watching gadgets.

“Parents and caregivers usually feed their children while carrying them as long as the child is willing to eat and the food runs out,” Frecillia said in an online seminar on Dr’s YouTube channel. Tan & Remanlay Institute quoted Tuesday (18/5/2021).

That way can remove the essence of the process of eating children. In fact, children eat not just eating, but the process is also important.

He added, sometimes parents also force children to eat by sitting the child in the dining chair, even though crying the child still has to eat. When you open your mouth because you cry, your child is stuffed with food. This can be traumatic.

“When the child is able to walk, parents usually feed the child while taking a walk,” he said.

A more contemporary way is to use the help of a device or smartphone. Children are given shows or opportunities to play gadgets while being fed food.

“If given the device, the next problem will arise, the child can talk late, hyperactivity, speech problems and have to go to the growth and development clinic.”
