“Things keep changing, evolving and refining in a child’s growing years. Every age is a new stage of exploration, refinement and new growth for them. New tastes, new ways, the new knowingness of themselves keep happening in the growing years.”
She Narrates
We all know children eat better and complain less when they are engaged in planning the meals, or helping in the kitchen garden or making things with their own hands or even helping their parents with the vegetables and fruit shopping.
A surprisingly new discovery for me was that my child also eats better when the food on his plate is neatly arranged, and the plate isn’t big a “hotchpotch”. Yes, my little one did make a mention of the word ‘hotchpotch’ when he was whining seeing the food served on his plate. He eats with his eyes first, which is what I fathomed. Presentation matters to him and many kids. His eating habits are frequently changing these days. He has outgrown his once-upon-a-time favourite plate. He says he wants the same big plate as us. Our plate offers more room to mix foods well, and he is able to move his fingers around to mix foods easily on a big plate. (We like eating with our hands.) And he said, “some days not always” he would like to be served and some days “I would help myself, take the food on my plate the way I like it to be”, “Well, fine! No problem, mum does not mind being a support in your paths of self-discovery!”
So next time you see your child complaining about how and what has been served on their plates, especially when they do it often, know that “it is a sign!” indicating that they are warming up to new tastes, new ways, the new knowingness of themselves, new portions of what appeals the most to their taste buds, what matters more to them, how much is enough etc.
Things keep changing and evolving and refining in a child’s growing years. Every age is like a new stage of exploration, refinement, and new growth for them.
Keep your spirits high and venture into the new, unknown, and unpredictable – full of unexpected twists and turns, adventurous ride with your little ones. Because parenting is the most courageous, adventurous and thrilling sport in the world. *winks*
