(Hello, Master, my child has been a picky eater from the start. What could be the reason? Should I force him to eat his meal?)
This is a real headache. Some children can be very picky when it comes to eating. For example, your child doesn’t eat beans. He won’t eat beans no matter what. If he is not allergic to beans, maybe you can prepare other bean products for him, such as soy milk or tofu. That way he still gets the nutrition of the beans.
Don’t force your children if their pickiness is congenital. There is a reason behind such pickiness. It could be that they were born with certain allergies which could be triggered by eating beans. We haven’t found the reason behind the phenomenon. Such pickiness is not taught. A child is tricked to eat chestnuts, which his body has rejected from day one. Then he goes through lots of pain because of allergic reactions. Therefore, if the pickiness is congenital, don’t force the child.
Sometimes, the reason could be their parents’ influences. Children learn from their parents, you know. Kids can eat the food without a problem, but they don’t eat it due to family influence. In this case, re-education is possible. If the kid doesn’t eat a certain food from the start, don’t force him to eat it.
