The Back story
My mother often feels sorry for the fact that feeding the children of our region is very hard. They like junk food very much, but if you try to feed them healthy foods, they will just turn their face back and say "Noooo!!"
On the contrary, the children born to nonnative parents like to eat those very much. I noticed the problem and thought: something must be wrong.
When I discuss that with my mother, she usually explains to me a theory which I call 'The nationalism theory.' It states that all Noakhali (nonnative) children are like that. Our children are 'adilka'. I don't agree with her at all. There must be some mistakes in the child-raising technique of our local parents.
The probable causes behind the 'Noooo!' problem:
1. Our local parents are extra caring to their children. When feeding times come, they force their children to eat. But nonnatives don't. So, forcing the children might be the cause. Eating food is a natural habit for all animals. It's not something that has to be forced.
2. Another probable reason must be our fault that we let them eat many junk foods such as chocolate, chips, etc. The magnificent taste of those foods kills the appetite of children to take natural food.
Solutions:
The solutions are clear after discussing the causes:
1. Just give them food when they get hungry. Choose the right food and don't give them any choice to choose a junk food; I hope they will eat.
3. Keep them away from junk foods. Don't let the visitors' gift-foods reach them.
4. Try to prepare healthy foods in a way that gives them a beautiful and delicious look.
Conclusion:
A child has a small stomach. Don't let it fill with unhealthy foods. Be serious, please. Don't let the chemicals in those foods enter into your child's body. Let him choose from healthy foods freely when he is hungry. And don't believe any 'nationalism' theory; it must be your mistake. Contact a doctor if the solutions above don't work.
