We all care about the feeding of children and we want them to eat as healthy a diet as possible, however, the attitude of the parents influences the correct nutrition of the children much more than we suppose.
A study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity reveals it and also points out that the emotions of the parents, positive or negative, have a strong impact on the attitude of children towards food.
They did the study with families that had children between 3 and 5 years old and chose a group with low income, because that is one of the factors that are related to a higher rate of childhood obesity.
They were offered tools to improve your children's nutrition, their relationship with food and to favor the intake of fruits and vegetables, solving the problems that may exist.
The interesting thing is that the parents who expressed positive feelings towards their children and had an open attitude and showed a good dynamic in their relationship got the children to stay more motivated, better solve tense situations and react better to the proposals of a healthy diet. .
And it is that, without a doubt, the attitude of parents towards their children, their positive assessment of these and their ability to maintain an emotionally healthy relationship influences, and much, on how children relate to their environment and it can be concluded that the attitude of the parents has an influence on the correct nutrition of the children. Therefore, if you have any conflict or concern about the diet of your children, the best strategy is understanding, dialogue and love.
