Manage Your Kids to Eat Fish Once and For All

By Michael Byrd

Have you ever considered yourself committing child abuse even once in your life? This does not mean beating your child or whatever way you may describe it. Because if not giving your children a regular dose of fish is a form of abuse, then you are guilty.

You are not excused just because you don't like fish. You are old enough to know the consequences of your choices. Your child is different. He does not know what he's missing if he does not eat fish. But you do, and it's so inconsiderate on your part to deprive them with this privilege.

Don't linger on the guilt. Just think about it - you want to do something about the situation. The only problem is that you don't know how.

Take it from me; I know that children will most likely follow instructions if you will teach them by example. Usually, they do what we do and they live with this until they are teenagers

Hence, it's best to start weaning them to fish eating at an early age and you can encourage them to do so by eating fish yourself. Okay, granted you don't want its fishy taste, but not because it is a fish but because of the way it was prepared or it is not fresh. But don't worry, here's some nippy fixes on these problems.

Non-fish eaters say that fish tastes fishy, or so they thought. Of course, fish is fish and will never be like chicken. But the reason behind its fishy taste, if ever there is, can be attributed to its preparation or its freshness. So to avoid fishy fish, always go for the freshest catch.

Find the right recipe. If you go for fried foods, have your fish fried. If you like the soups, then make a fish soup. It's just a matter of knowing what you want and using fish as your main ingredient. In this way, you and your family will get to like the taste of fish because you have prepared them the way you have always wanted your food to be.

People who were able to develop a liking for fish say that it's best to start with mild tasting fishes first. You can start with the grouper or sea bass and work your way to strong tasting fishes like salmon that has higher content of omega 3 fatty acids. Things will be easier if done this way.

Start it early. Start it right. You can start introducing fish to your children as young as 6 months old by giving them fish oil. You will soon be surprised that they are craving for more. And by the time that they get to eat out with you, they will order fish more.

And even if your kids are old enough to know what they like and to stick with what they have been used to, such as pot pies, pizzas, and TV dinners, you can still do something about it. Just follow the instructions I have given earlier and combine them with love. Keep in mind that you are doing this because you love them. And by the time that there are no other foods on the table but fish, they will soon give in.

To lengthen you children's lives and to put them in the pink of health, try these ideas. Studies show that aside from the many benefits that fish can give, it can also improve your child's mood and behavior. This is advantageous on your part too. Just be happy you have chosen to teach your kids to eat fish. Sooner or later, they will also appreciate what you have done. - 17268
