LifeChain, every stage has things to do and distances to calculate.
Eat right to grow, eat wrong to gain weight
Not about "how much to eat," but "he is growing up, but his eating habits have started to go out of control, and he doesn't listen to what I say."
Verification Signals (count two or more to be considered):
· More than 1 meal a day is takeout/snack instead of a meal
· Growth rate of height is lower than that of peers (annual increase <5cm)
· Weight gain in the past half year is greater than height growth rate
The child knows what to eat himself
He will choose by himself without being told every day
Grow tall, have good complexion, no acne
Definition
Daily protein grams · Annual height growth rate · Frequency of sugary drinks
How to measure
Record the source of daily protein (egg/milk/meat/bean) for a week; measure height once a month; sugary drinks once a week
Healthy Range
Protein ≥ 60g/day · Annual height increase 5–10cm · Sugary drinks ≤ 1 time/week
Forcing him to eat, forcing him to finish —— The most rebellious thing for teenagers is to be controlled, the more you force, the more rebellious
Only saying "takeout is not healthy" —— He knows, but doesn't know what the alternative solution is
Talking about weight —— Teenagers are sensitive to their bodies, easy to become anxious about their figure
Blaming acne all on diet —— Hormones are the main cause, over-attribute will mislead
Forcing to eat breakfast —— It's better to prepare what he is willing to take away
Don't talk about "health," talk about "growing taller/avoiding acne/having energy" —— Use the results he cares about
Make breakfast "carryable," don't require sitting down to eat
Don't put sugary drinks at home, only water and milk
Once a week, cook together and let him choose one dish
