GIVE YOUR CHILD CHOOSE OR CHOOSE FOR YOUR CHILD ?!
– Do you have any difficulty in guiding Bao An to the macrobiotic food?
– Yes. The early days were hard. That suffering is due to you, not by children. Suffering because she has too much control over her eating and drinking!
Children are yang so they really crave sweets. Craving for that sweets, it is a natural rule of the need to balance the yin and yang inside, so Bao An still feeds the road. However, Bao An controlled in a different angle. Bao An only allows his children to drink raw cane sugar mixed with cereal flour.
When I was a kid, I was quite satisfied with the drink too. When I grew up a little, when I went out and saw you drink milk from colorful paper boxes, I liked and asked for it like you. To seduce and still control the baby, Bao An bought the can of milk, cut the carton, poured the milk out of the box, and mixed the cereal milk in it. Have fun drinking. But only for a few days!
Out more, adults and friends gave many industrial gifts that were more attractive both in terms of sight and taste. Security struggled to control children by the prohibition, not eat this, eat only other one …
That prohibition makes me crave and inhibit more. I started to lie. Who out what the child feeding concealed.
At this point, Bao An found it impossible to control the child. And an action done purely out of love would have no control. Looking back, Bao An found that he had unintentionally imposed his son to live the way he wanted.
GIVE YOUR CHILD CHOOSE OR CHOOSE FOR YOUR CHILD ?!
Bao An begins to empower his child, allowing him to choose the foods he likes. Along with empowerment, Bao An shows children how to observe how food affects their health, and clearly tells them that if they choose foods that are not suitable for their body, they will make them sick. be responsible, not nagging.
When you are active, you are more confident. I tell more about what I eat in class, what I get you to eat …
“My birthday today, I missed eating a lot of cream cakes”
“His mouth harms his body”
At the age of 3-4, the child stood up on the shelf to get salted apricots and salted lime to suck when he was tired. One day, when the apricots are over, I take salt to suck, because I keep thinking that salty will help me get better :)). Love it.
Looks like a child’s ability to observe himself is much better than an adult’s! And when empowered with guidance, if you make the wrong choice, you can still learn valuable experiences for the better latter.
The part of Security, when empowering children, is to put down control, in children, and in ourselves. Lightweight.
Looking back, our parents were also wrong. And we are more mature from our mistakes!
Bao An loves to prepare school meals for their children. Get up in the morning to cook and arrange like playing with toys. So happy. <3
