Be positive!

اسعار الذهب اليوم ٠ي السعودية مرت٠ع ام منخ٠ض Try to make mealtimes a really positive experience. One of the most important things is to hide your frustration. Praise your child excessively when he or she eats well or tries something new. You may need to ignore some bad eating behaviour to refocus attention on good behaviour. This may make mealtimes less stressful for you, too.

Variety is the spice of life

source Do not just stick to favourite meals offer a variety of healthy dishes and keep trying new recipes. Offering only the foods that your grandchild will eat can encourage extreme fussiness and may lead to a restricted and unbalanced diet.

It generally develops at around 18 months and babies who would happily accept many foods suddenly become suspicious and reject anything unfamiliar.

If your grandchild has a very restricted diet, it is best to give new foods when she is really hungry. Try to encourage her to eat just a small amount and give lots of attention and praise if she is willing to try it. If she still refuses to eat it, maybe mix it together with something your child likes. For example, if your grandchild likes pasta but won’t eat vegetables, try making a lasagne with spinach.

go here Krispie Fish Fingers from ‘Fussy Eaters Recipe Book’

Rice Krispies make a tasty coating for fish, and I like to make these finger-sized goujons as they cook quickly and can be easily cooked from frozen. Another good coating to try is crushed cornflakes. Simply cut the fish into strips, coat in seasoned flour, lightly beaten egg and then crushed cornflakes and sauté until golden and cooked through.

Ingredients

• Half pound skinless sole or flounder fillets
• One and a half cups Rice Krispies
• 3 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan
• 1/4 (quarter) tsp paprika
• 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp plain flour
• 2–3 tbsp canola oil, for frying
• salt and pepper, to season
• Lemon mayo dip
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• A pinch of salt to season

Method

1. Cut the fish into little finger-sized pieces. Cover and set aside in the fridge. Put the Rice Krispies, Parmesan and paprika in a food processor, and whiz to fine crumbs. Transfer to a plate and stir in salt and pepper to taste and the sesame seeds (if using). Beat the egg in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Spread the flour out on a separate plate.
2. Toss three or four of the fish pieces in the flour then dunk in the egg and roll in the Krispie crumbs until well coated. Sit on a clean plate and continue with remaining fish. Cook immediately or freeze according to the instructions below.
3. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the fish fingers. Fry for 1 1/2 –2 minutes each side, until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper and cool slightly before serving.
4. To make the dip, mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. If you like you can season the dip to taste with a pinch of salt.
5. To freeze, lay the uncooked fish fingers on a baking sheet lined with cling film. Cover with cling film and freeze around 2 hours, until firm. Transfer to re-sealable plastic bags and cook as above, direct from frozen (the cooking time is the same). Not suitable for reheating.
6. Dips are a good way to encourage healthy eating. Serve with sticks of carritm pepper, celery as well as toasted pitta slices.
