Articles forbidden in case of Childcare
- Benson A.R
The following articles should not be given to children under four years :
Meats : Sausage, pork, game of all kinds, kidney, liver, or meat served with rich gravies.
Vegetables : Green corn, cucumbers, raw tomatoes.
Desserts : Pies, tarts, cake and pastries of all kinds.
Fruits : Bananas should be avoided except in small quantities, thoroughly mashed through a sieve and served with cream.
The habit of allowing children to eat their meals at the table with the rest of the family is a bad one, as there is constant temptation for them to eat improper food.
The child's likes and dislikes should be consulted to a certain extent, but it should not be allowed to become dainty and wilful about food. It is not always easy to steer a rational middle course, but if the child is taught from the start to eat milk and eggs freely, the larger part of the problem will be solved. Even if the strongest discipline is necessary to accomplish this, it is well worth while, and it may prove the means of saving the child's life in later years.
For similar reasons, the desire for an excessive amount of sweets should be discouraged. Milk chocolate in small quantities is permissible, and simple sweets may occasionally be allowed, but rich cake and pastry are especially harmful.
