Nutrition

Children develop independence and personal preferences and they need a supportive environment that allows them to try things out, ask themselves questions and decide by themselves. It is recommended to put food in the center of the table and let children choose what to put onto their own plates. Do not encourage them to eat or offer awards – let them learn the feelings of hunger and satiety and respect their decision to continue eating or finish.

Has your child chosen to stop eating meat? Does your family have a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle? It is important to consult a nutritionist specializing in children. You should know that rich, diverse vegetarian diet may provide all of your children’s nutritional needs.
