You can stop eating even if there is still food on the plate,» says the nutritionist. Forcing a child to eat only confuses his or her sense of normal satiety.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





«Under no circumstances should you force a child to eat an empty plate. Forcing can have far-reaching effects: eating situations can become distressing, and the child may not want to eat the food he or she is sometimes forced to eat, even as an adult. Forcing them also means that they don’t learn when their stomach is full,» says Mari Kolonen, a nutritionist at Terveystalo.

Instead, it’s worth teaching your child: ‘You can eat as much as you feel is appropriate. If you don’t like the food, you don’t have to call it bad. It’s enough to taste the food and then say thank you.
Don’t worry if Grandma gets offended. You don’t have to please anyone.
