讓父母頭痛的挑食行為
小朋友挑食讓父母非常困擾！挑食原因可以千奇百趣，味道不對、形狀不對、質感不對等等等等，如果小朋友挑食情況嚴重的話，幾乎每餐飯都要與小朋友鬥智鬥力，買餸前已絞盡腦汁，然後把菜式造成可愛的卡通模樣，或者把他們討厭的食材融入其它食材中，務求小朋友多吃一口半口，真是用心良苦啊！
．輕微挑食型
只討厭某幾種食材，通常是苦瓜、青椒、青豆等帶有草青味的食材，這種挑食情況很常見，不特別影響健康，讓小朋友大一點再多嘗試以上的食物的不同煮法就好。
．質感挑食型
食材換了形狀、質感就不吃，例如吃炸薯條，但煮的薯仔或薯仔湯不吃；吃煎蛋，但烚蛋、炒蛋都不吃。雖然讓父母頭腦，但只要掌握到挑食規律，入廚或點菜時要處理都不太難搞。
．無定向挑食型
「沒有原因，我就是討厭它！」有研究指出小朋友挑食有部份是受先天影響，與遺傳有關，你想想自己是否屬於不喜歡嘗試新食物的人？或者你的挑食習慣其實數目也不少？正所謂孩子就是父母的鏡子⋯⋯ 唯有和小孩一起努力，以愉快心情享受用餐時光，情況會慢慢好轉吧！
Troublesome picky eaters
Picky eaters can be troubling to parents. There are many reasons for being picky from taste to shape to texture. If the pickiness is bad, every meal would be a struggle to get creative with food just to get them to eat more.
– light picky eaters
They just dislike a few certain things they don’t like usually are bitter melon, green pepper, and peas type of grassy flavor food. This is common and does not necessarily affect health. You can wait until your child is older to try the ingredients again with different cooking method.
– picky on texture
Food may change in texture and the children become picky with it. For example, they may eat French fries but refuse boiled potatoes or potato soup; eat fried egg but not scrambled or boiled egg. This might be inconvenient for parents but as long as you know the pattern, then you can still get them to eat the right food.
– picky eaters with no reason
Some studies tell us children picky eating might be innate and hereditary. Are you also the type who do not like to try new food? Or you are also quite picky yourself with food? Children are a reflection of parents so try to work with your child and enjoy meals together happily to try to improve the condition.
