hi there, you ask him what he wants for breakfast, and tell him to eat breakfast para nde sya nanlalata sa school. My kid used to be like that, but then every night before going to bed I ask him what he wants to eat at breakfast, if a kid wants what he eats he might eat a little faster, and try to talk to him, tell him to eat a little faster coz if not all the nutrients will not go to his body, alam mo na mga pambobola.... dont and never let him go to school with an empty stomach, you are not at school during recess so you dont know if hes eating his baon or not.

I used to be like that when i was a kid.

first off, make sure that everything's alright at school. baka naman may problema sa school kaya dinedelay nya yung pasok nya. i was bullied as a kid, and i delayed my going to school by eating SLLLOOWW. 15 years later, i have to sign his hiring papers, but that's another happy story for me.

then on the weekends, don't let him sleep in. keep him on his regular schedule of waking up, para masanay syang magutom at that time, pero get him involved in making breakfast instead of his regular routine of getting ready for school and make sure you don't make it too serious. it's only breakfast, fer cryin out loud. have him break a few eggs, spill pancake batter. that's when you ask him about school. also it's best for kids to eat at a constant time para masanay yung appetite nila.

make sure he gets to play actively during the day, and give him a lighter dinner and that he gets a full night's sleep. no after dinner snacks bigger than his palm.

May I ask, parati ba sya mabagal kumain talaga, or pag papasok lang sa school. If you noticed that sometimes he tends to eat faster when he is not going to school, it may be that he has problems in school. OR, he doesn't want to eat breakfast early. May mga tao kasi na pag maaga pa, parang nakasara ang sikmura, ayaw pang kumain.

Ganyan din ang daughter ko, lalo na pag nagluluto ako ng ulam tsaka kanin. Yung baon nya sa school parating may kanin pero parati ring tinatapon ko after school kasi isang kagat lang parati. Tapos she told me that her classmate brings an extra burger for her. Since then I made burgers for her, too, o kaya ham and cheese sandwich. Yun, kumakain na.

Sa snacks naman dati madalas ko sya ipagbaon ng sandwich na may peanut butter, egg sandwich, etc. Pero hindi kinakain. Until one time, a parent told me that she puts chips in Ziploc reseable bags tapos yun ang kinakain sa snacks. Hindi naman bawal chips dito, so yun na rin lang ginawa ko, kesa naman sa hindi talaga kumain.

Ang kinalabasan ng baon nya, burger o sandwich with chips.

Binabawi ko na lang sa fruits pag uwi kasi ayaw talaga ng veggies. Tsaka vitamins.

Sa breakfast I used to cook sinangag, fried chicken, or corned beef with egg, etc. pero hindi man lang kakain. I found out she likes waffles and pancakes... whew! At least kahit na konti kumakain. Isama mo sya sa grocery minsan and ask him what he likes to eat for breakfast. Hirap talaga ano?

My mom read something in one of those parental care books and did this. What she did before with my little brother and now my little cousin is to take away their food after 30 minutes without a word whether they finish it or not. Kapag nagutom naman yung bata, hihingi ng pagkain yan, then that's when she lectured them on how they are not getting anymore food since they didn't finish their food. A week of this my brother and my cousin got cured from eating slow.

hi gus..i have a problem with my two year old daughter. Andalang niya kumain ng full mrals. Maybe1 - 2x a day lang. Plus it's so hard to make her finish her meals. She'd ear the food, chew it and half of the time she'd put it out again. It's so frustrating ksi puro milk lang ang gusto niya. I heard na pag two year old dapat lakas na kumain ng solids.

Can u guys advise me on what to do. Thanks:(

[smilefever]

thanks sa mga suggestions nyo...actually, i-experiment ko lahat yun. ktulad kanina kumain sya ng 1 jumbo purefoods na hotdog at milo....sabi nga, talagang may mood yun pagkain nya kase first time nya na maaga kumain. Nakuha ko kase kagabi bago sya natulog nag kwentuhan kami tungkol sa Health and Nutrition...siguro na absorb nya yung kwento at flow ng story...kumain kahit hotdog lang kaya nga lang medyo mabagal nga lang..pero ok na happy na ako....ok lang ba nonood sya ng TV habang kumakain kc baka naman masanay. thanks talaga...

Minsan naiinis na husband ko kase sabi nya kung ayaw daw kumain wag nang bigyan dahil magugutom din...ayoko naman kase ayaw ko masanay na hindi kakain pag pupunta sa school. Pinabaunan ko sya ngayon ng rice and corned beef guisado kase madali nguyain yun pag di nya naubos pwede pa pakain sa kanya ni Yaya pagdating... kase hanggang 930 lang naman school nya.

Tanong ko sa kanya, enjoy naman sya sa school palagay ko hindi naman nagiging cause yun na merong nagbu-bully sa kanya or any problems. Talagang ayaw lang nya kumain siguro.

Tanong ko sa kanya this morning kung ano breakfast nya sabi nya egg with cheese...okay, yun ang ise-serve ko tom.

Iisa palang kase sya kaya medyo na-spoiled nang kunti pero ngayon medyo kinakastigo na 5 years old eh.

Thanks sa mga reply nyo. Experiment ko lahat yun.

Strawberyl, ganyan din ang anak ko nun medyo nag-improve na nga kase ma-tyaga yung yaya ko sa pagpapakain kahit 1 hour bantay nya sa pagkain yung daughter ko tsaka medyo nilalaro nya kunyari airplane yung spoon tapos cave yung mouth nya..kakain yun. It makes eating fun to her! Tyaga lang talaga ma-oovercome na nya yun pag medyo 3-5 years old na support na lang nga vitamins and fruits like, apples, ponkan, papaya, or biscuits/crakers, etc...

Ako naman,as long as I remember,hindi ko talaga naging ugali kumain ng breakfast since nag-start ako ng school,actually hanggang ngayon nga hindi ako talaga nag-bre-breakfast,but anyway,as for smilefeverSince naremedyuhan mo na yung breakfast nya,bakit di mo na lang din sya tanungin kong anong snack ang gusto nyang baon,para kakainin din nya,instead of giving her a food that was easy to swallow,kung ayaw nya rin naman hindi rin nya talaga kakainin.
My son right now have this trouble too but he's almost two (this sept.)anyway,minsan ayaw na nya ng milk,as in marunong ng pumili,mas gusto nya juice na lang, yung pagkain ganon din kung hindi pa gutom na gutom hindi pa kakain,kaya ang ginagawa ko na lang,I put some crackers/cookies/frootloops/slice of apple in a place where he can easily reach,tapos ayun kain sya paisa isa para lang hindi magutuman,so kahit mealtime na at ayaw kumain ok lang,hirap pa kasi sa age nila papalit palit pa ng eating habit.

ganyan din ang problema ko sa anak ko.He is 3 yrs old...ang hirap pakainin,,bagal **** ngumuya,,,kailangan bolahin mo pa,,ska Kain *** sya while watching his favorite cartoon show.
Lahat na ata ng klase ng vitamins,na try ko na,,, mula sa pinaka mahal hanggang sa pinakamura....no effect..
Kundi pa ako hahawak ng pamalo,,nde sya matatakot kakain...pero i never spank him,, amba amba *** kumbaga!!!panakot!!,,nakain naman ,,kahit konti!!!
Nde rin sya hilig sa mga veggies,,,apples *** kinakain nyang fruits....

[smilefever]

Mickey2000, tama ka dyan! Ang mga bata talaga may kanya kanyang eating habits din..pero kailangang bantayan din...ganon nga, katulad knina kahit tanong ko sya the other night yung gusto nya..halos dalawang subo lang din...hindi na ako nainis, sige okay lang....basta may mga alternative narin ako talaga sa kanya...gusto nya hotdog baon kita ubos naman...tapos, sabi ng yaya after school mga 10am kain na sya ng ulam at kain. Mas sumusunod sya sa Yaya sakin nag-iinarte.

Suggest ko lang mga alternative snacks: biscuits, cornflakes, cheese, favorite fruits: papaya, ponkan, apples, fruitloops, try mo champorado, chicken lugaw...ay naku napagdaanan ko na yan.

Thanks.

http://www.homestead.com/disneywonder/files/loveforthemouse.gifYjn lang ang kunswelo ko sa anak ko,kapag nasa eating mood sya,kumakain yun ng veggies,kahit nga broccoli kinakain eh daig pa ako,at iyon eh kapag daddy nya pa ang nagluto,or sa restaurant, pero kapag ginaya ko ng luto,naku ang arte,kapag binigay ko halos matanggal na yung ulo sa kakailing, minsan ako ang naiinis kasi in the end ako ang napapakain ng di oras,eh sayang naman kasi kapag tinapon lang.eh di ako na lang tuloy kakain. :D

Never ko pa sya nabigyan ng lugaw (hindi ko alam iluto :D ) besides ayaw nya ng titigil sya sa paglalaro para kumain,not unless he's starved to death nga, kaya yun,mga finger foods lang talaga.
