Giving their baby to the garden, parents worry about how quickly he gets used to new people, new things and, of course, a new menu. Moreover, mothers often complain that it is impossible to force a child to eat at home, he has a constantly poor appetite. However, the parents of those children who have been visiting the kindergarten for a long time probably noticed an interesting feature: the kids like the food in the kindergarten, sometimes they ask their mother to cook cutlets, pancakes, and compote “like in a kindergarten”. Parents are surprised that their children almost never eat soup at home, and in the garden they have some favorite first courses.
Catering in kindergarten is based on compliance with the recommended sets of food products, on their optimal ratio and variety. All writing, included in the menu of preschool institutions, allows you to satisfy the needs of children in the necessary nutrients and give the necessary charge of energy.
The nutrition of children in kindergarten, of course, must be combined with a healthy diet at home. In the mornings, in the mornings in the foyer or reception room on a special stand, they place a menu for the whole day, so parents can study it and, ideally, supplement it at home. Medical workers in kindergartens give fathers and mothers recommendations on cooking dinners and meals on weekends and holidays. This is nothing complicated: just read the menu and prepare dinner for the baby with those products that he did not eat in the garden during the day. In those days when children do not attend kindergarten, it is advisable to bring their menu closer to kindergarten.
Remember that meals in the kindergarten include breakfast, so it is advisable not to feed the children in the morning. If necessary, give your child a fruit or a cup of tea. After a hearty breakfast at home, the children, of course, will not want to eat the food offered in the garden. Meanwhile, it is most often porridge, cottage cheese - healthy food, thanks to which it is easy to maintain activity and energy until dinner. Often the issue of breakfast at home is brought up for discussion at parent meetings, when educators persuade parents not to give children sweets, rolls, and sweets in the morning.
Separately, we will say about food in the kindergarten during the adaptation period, when the baby is being reorganized from his usual home lifestyle to life according to the schedule and in the new environment. Moving away from parenting to the team is almost always accompanied by psychological difficulties, and the younger the child, the more difficult the adaptation. Often during this period, appetite and sleep worsen, and resistance to diseases decreases. It is very useful at this time that meals in kindergarten contribute to rapid adaptation in the new environment. Find out in advance what is fed in the kindergarten, and more often cook such dishes at home so that the child begins to get used to it. Sometimes young children who have just entered the garden are not good at eating on their own. Therefore, teachers or nannies often help them if the kids really want to eat. If you refuse food, you do not need to force them - this is how you can form a negative attitude both to staying in the garden and to food in general.
Kids pay attention to the design of dishes, to decorate. In addition, children will never eat hot food, it should only be warm. Garden workers are gradually accustoming the kids to order and cleanliness at the table. In younger groups, parents bring special aprons to the garden, which they put on for children during meals so as not to stain their clothes. Carers do not rush kids, the next dish is served when the previous one is eaten or if the child abandoned it. Most often, a little food remains, so the kids are offered an additive.
The food in the kindergarten is always under control, the food is only fresh, warm, natural and healthy.
