The older the child becomes, the more problems parents face with food intake. The apparent difficulties in introducing the first complementary foods and the variety of menus for a one-year-old baby turn out to be so small in comparison with an attempt to feed a three-year-old child. Food recipes for children are varied, but there are a number of rules to follow when preparing food.
Necessary
meat, vegetables, utensils for cooking, products for decorating dishes

Step 1
In order for a growing body to receive all the substances necessary for health, nutrition must be healthy and rational. Many parents face the problem that children refuse to have breakfast or lunch. In practice, it often turns out that if you change the recipe for cooking and exclude snacks, then you can feed even the most fastidious gourmet.
Step 2
First of all, the food for the child should be fresh. If in a family it is customary to cook a pot of borscht for the entire working week, then this method is contraindicated with a child. The fresher the dish, the more nutrients it contains, which are reduced in inverse proportion to the number of reheating. Therefore, it is advisable to cook for the child every day, as a last resort, prepare the first course and meat product for two days.
Step 3
Simple preparations will help to simplify mom's life, when several cutlets or meatballs are already in the freezer. It remains only to throw the latter into boiling water and in 20 minutes get a soup with meat or cook steamed cutlets. It is equally easy to boil chicken leg broth and add noodles to it. Both of these methods allow you to combine both hot and meat dishes.
Step 4
But the main secret of how to prepare food for a child does not even concern the degree of usefulness of food. Any adult knows that spicy, fatty, fried and canned foods are harmful to health. Often, the child is much more interested in the appearance of the food served. It can be a sandwich with "bugs" on a cheese background or porridge with a cheerful smile from berries. Even the usual soup can be diversified by cutting carrots in the shape of stars or filling it with colored pasta.
