🥗🍱 Picky Eating Series 🍱🥗

⭐️⭐️ Tip #3 - GIVE THEM OPTIONS / OFFER HEALTHY CHOICES ⭐️⭐️

As the child grows, they become more aware of their likes and dislikes, which include food preferences. This often begins as early as 2 years old.

Although it is normal for children to have food preferences, we should not allow them to always get what they want and eventually develop unhealthy eating habits.

NEVER MAKE A SEPARATE MEAL JUST FOR THEM. This will definitely encourage them to continue picky eating.

One way to prevent them from becoming picky-eaters is by including them in the decision-making. Provide them with a variety of food options to choose from.
🥦 Which vegetable to include in the meal?
🍉 What color of fruit to add for the day?
🍗 What shape do you want the meat to be cut?

By allowing them to choose between different healthy options, they still feel empowered and continue to eat nutritious meals at the same time.

Remember to also keep on trying to offer different food varieties to your children, even if they refuse it. Sometimes, it takes 10-12 times for them to try and like a particular food.

✨🌻 Always Choose Kindness 🌻✨

In writing, this is an easy task to do. But in reality, it takes a lot of patience, understanding and will power to be kind.

⭐️ To shy away from negative comments.
⭐️ To bite your tongue when someone has hurt you.
⭐️ To continue to encourage and support someone’s dreams.
⭐️ To avoid giving unsolicited advise.
⭐️ To listen instead of invalidating someone’s feelings.
⭐️ To avoid judging someone especially if you don’t know the whole story.

Always choose kindness. The world will be a better place with it.

✨🌻 Story Time: Think Before You Act 🌻✨

Conflict often arises when there is miscommunication. This occurs when people fail to listen and understand one another. We are quick to judge, quick to assume. We often react at once to what we see or hear, but do not necessarily understand what is happening.

👉🏼 👉🏼 To put perspective:

A patient was brought to the clinic for consult. An interview ensues to understand what happened. The caregiver decided to self-medicate with previous prescriptions. When asked why that particular medication was given, the caregiver suddenly becomes irritated and defends herself. She showed her disapproval and answered the remaining questions with angst.

I did not say anything about it for the meantime. Regardless of her demeanor, I chose to continue the consult and check the patient without bias. When it was time to give the prescription, that was the time I opened up the reason for my question and the alternative that could be given since the previous prescription was not necessary for the patient’s condition. In fact, it may actually worsen his condition if the caregiver continued with those medications.

Afterward, she became calm and apologized for her behavior. She got the prescription and thanked me after. No bad blood. Just understanding.

This situation could have gone further south if I chose to react differently. Fortunately, I was raised to be empathic to others - to try to understand the situation before acting out.

✨ Please remember that your healthcare providers are your partners in health. Our priority is to help you or your loved ones get better.

—————————————————————

Disclaimer 1: I am not shaming the caregiver for her behavior, nor am I glorifying mine. I am just putting this out here to remind people to be more patient and kind to one another.

Disclaimer 2: Some might think I am obliged to do this because the patient is paying - she wasn’t. Also, doctors have the right to refuse a patient if their integrity is compromised. Regardless of status (HMO/non-HMO/non-paying), I treat patients the same way (and my regular patients can attest to that!).

🚨 FOR SATURDAY CLINIC 🚨

While walk-in is welcome, please note that there is a limit set because there is another pedia who will use the room after me.

To avoid the cut-off, I suggest you schedule an appointment ahead of time through the clinic website. If the online appointment calendar is full, walk-in at your own risk. I cannot ensure that you will be entertained since it is a shared space.
