Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food {{U}}(31) {{/U}} it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an attractively served meal will often improve a child's appetite. Never ask a child{{U}} (32) {{/U}}he likes or dislikes a food and never discuss likes and dislikes in front of him or allow{{U}} (33) {{/U}} else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables, in the child's hearing he is{{U}} (34) {{/U}} to copy this procedure. Take it {{U}}(35) {{/U}} granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a supposed dislike. At meal times it is a good{{U}} (36) {{/U}}to give a child a small portion and let him come back for a second helping rather than give him as {{U}}(37) {{/U}} as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child{{U}} (38) {{/U}} meal times, but let him get on with his food; and do not{{U}} (39) {{/U}}him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food so he can hurry back to his toys. Under{{U}} (40) {{/U}}circumstances must a child be coaxed (哄骗) or forced to eat. |
