Don't want to eat your toddler? Then try this!

If you have a toddler who does not want to eat, we understand that you are concerned about that. Not if it happens once that he or she does not finish his plate of course, but if it is a structural fact that your toddler does not want to eat, then it will become a thing.

Constructive Eating if your toddler doesn't want to eat

You have probably tried everything necessary to get your toddler to eat if this has been going on for longer. Something with sickers, for example? Or sing a song, imitate an airplane or a cool tablecloth that makes sitting at the table more fun?

I completely recognize it, I have already had the necessary tropical years with a toddler and toddler where the food was not really a favorite. But what about these products? Constructive Eating cutlery for when your toddler doesn't want to eat! I'm quite convinced that this will at least persuade the toddlers to eat some vegetables, and the girls are undoubtedly enthusiastic as well. Because hey, who says girls aren't fans of front loaders, sliders and a forklift?

Make food fun and try not to push

If your toddler does not want to eat, then you have already experienced how difficult it is to get that food in. Pushing does not help, your toddler will only become even more difficult. Grumbling is not a solution either, because before you know it you are sitting at the table grumbling every night, so that the atmosphere is no longer enjoyable at all.

No, the answer is actually obvious, but it might be quite tricky. Ignore and stay cozy. Don't look for other ways out or make compromises with your toddler, but make sure that it remains fun for him or her to sit at the table. Then that food will eventually come naturally, especially if you also make it more fun.

Constructive Eating on the Table

With the cutlery, plate and placemat from Constructive Eatings you are well on your way to having fun. Do not fill the plate too full so that your toddler does not look up to a mountain of food. Place some of the food in the appropriate compartments on the plate and let your toddler get to work with the forklift, the front loader and the slider. Bet he or she is going to try to 'clean up' something in his mouth? The fact that your toddler does not want to eat becomes a thing of the past and with a little luck your toddler even asks for an extra mountain of food on his plate to get rid of!
