Your child doesn't eat vegetables?

Your child doesn’t want to eat vegetables and you don’t know what to do to change it?



Today, we present few ways to teach your child eating vegetables:
  1. Start with meals that your child already knows - favourite meals are the best way to smuggle vegetables! Remember that your child will be more tolerant of vegetable ingredients if you hide them under a blanket made of pasta slices or cheese;)
  2. Give your meals interesting names - for example, "Brazilian football", if your son is interested in football, or "specialty from Barbie", when your daughter’s favourite toy is this doll. In fact, under these names can be a pizza on a wholemeal dough and a homemade sauce, on which you will put spinach, sweet corn and slices of mozzarella or vegetable muffins, which can certainly appear in the kitchen of the girl's favourite heroine.
  3. Let the food be fun - for example, broccoli can be trees placed on your child's plate. You can be sure that while telling such stories your child will happily eat lettuce that threatens his favourite heroes.
  4. Take your child to shopping - it is more likely that your child will try new products when you give him the opportunity to choose them from the store shelf.
  5. Let your child cook with you - children like to cook and imitate adults, it builds a child's self-confidence, because he can do something by himself.
  6. Go for snacks - prepare healthy fries with home-made tomato sauce or sweet carrots and honey sticks.
  7. Apply the method of one bite - reserve to your child so that before asking if he can leave the table, he took a bite of food, which he has on his plate. This increases the chances that he will be surprised by the taste and will want to take a second bite.

WHAT BENEFITS DO TEAM SPORTS GIVE?


Improving the condition, increasing concentration, improving efficiency and counteracting the ever-increasing obesity ... The health benefits of sports can not be undermined. Speaking of the benefits of sporting activities, we often forget about completely different, albeit not less significant, values. Attention should be paid primarily to team sports that are involved in shaping the unit. How?

Playing sports with friends lowers stress hormones. All thanks to the fact that the movement improves the mood. The activity also stimulates the production of endorphins and increases the production of neurotrophins. At the same time, the vitality of old nerve cells is improved, while the growth of young ones.

If we go deep into psychological considerations, we can not ignore the fact that team games are conducive to establishing better relations with others, developing a sense of comradeship and sociability in us. They also teach the rules of fair play or respect for the rival. Coexistence in the team makes people mutually motivate to act. It is important to believe that you belong to a group that has a beneficial effect on our well-being. Developing self-confidence is also something that we simply can not neglect in today's world.

Team games are, in short, the school of life. Volleyball, basketball or football change players' thinking. What is more important for them is the ability to appreciate the work of the whole group and mutual help, as well as the fight to the very end. On the playing field, you can also develop responsibility and trust in others. Interactions allow for the creation of a special relationship between people. A bond that can last continuously over the years.

And finally, "last but not least" - active people develop in themselves a great will power that is useful to them in everyday life, often also at work.
