of the little ones in the house
Children's nutrition shouldn't be a battle, but rather an opportunity for health education. Helping children develop a healthy relationship with food is the greatest demonstration of love you can give your little ones.
✺ THE IMPORTANCE OF ROUTINETo help children maintain their appetite and enjoy good digestion, it's essential to maintain a consistent daily routine. Establish fixed mealtimes, even on weekends. Help them avoid snacking between meals, especially if it's empty calories. Take advantage of the longer spring days to include light, early dinners, making digestion easier before bedtime.
✺ WIN THEM OVER WITH SEASONAL FLAVORS AND FOODSSpring offers fiber- and vitamin-rich ingredients (asparagus, strawberries, peas) that stimulate the appetite and regulate bowel movements. Involve children in preparing dishes with tasks such as washing vegetables, mixing ingredients, or decorating. When they participate in the preparation, they feel proud and are more likely to try what they've "created."

THE ROLE OF PARENTS WITH THE
FOOD: FORCE OR ACCOMPANY?
Regarding lack of appetite, the best thing we can do for our children is adapt and support them during their moments of loss of appetite, in addition to trying to find and alleviate the causes with their pediatrician. It's important to keep in mind that a child with eating disorders faces unpleasant situations every day, and pressure measures at home can cause significant stress. Using phrases like "Finish it all!" or "Just three more spoonfuls!" creates aversion. Offer small portions and celebrate each bite naturally: "You're chewing so well!" or "Did you like the sweet taste of the sweet potato?"
