Guys, hello everyone! I thought that Roma did not eat snow anymore. I used some methods. But they also did not help. But I will still stick to my methods, maybe help :)

"I will eat snow until no one sees!" 😅😅😅  

Roma likes the texture of the snow. For him, he looks like ice cream.

He gets high when he's snowing :)

Roma is ecstatic about snow, even eating it 🙈 😆

If you remember my childhood, I also ate snow. I wonder why all children like to eat such a "delicacy" !?Today I want to talk to you about this.

So, why do children like to eat snow?

We, adults, sometimes can not understand the logic of children, for example, why does a child have snow? It's cold, tasteless, dirty ... and you can add a lot more negative to it. It seems to me that everyone in the childhood ate snow.

How to wean a kid to eat snow?

In order to try to wean the kid, there is snow, you need to understand why he does it.

•   One of my assumptions. We know that all the young children are pulling into their mouths all that they will get by the arm. So they will know the world. All children are curious, because everything is new for them.
•     The second assumption. We are all very caring parents, and we are afraid that our baby will not get sick. Therefore, we put on it all the warm clothes that are at home. Of course, we dressed the baby as well as he went out on the street and would sit on a bench. And forget that he will run, jump. From such an active walk the baby will become hot and he will look for a way to cool, and of course he will get snow on his arm.
•    One more assumption. It's thirst. In winter we do not take water for a walk, as we do in the summer. And children, that would thirst for thirst they eat snow.

Remembering my childhood, when I secretly eat snow from my parents, it seemed to me tasty. It's amazing, but those who in childhood sinned by eating snowballs, like me, usually remember that they liked it. It is difficult to explain such love. 

How to deal with this bad habit?

It seems to me that telling a child something is useless. The fact that the snow - it's harmful, he has nothing to say. In order that you can wean your child out of the snow, you need to distract him. The child should not have time to have snow. Play with it. You can also give the child a chupa-chups or something similar to occupy the mouth and hands. 

If you have a small child:

You can not even try to explain to him that the snow is very harmful. If your baby is very small, then you can give him a candy, or chupa-chups. What would your baby's mouth have been already occupied. He also does not have time to eat snow. Play the snapshot. You sculpt a snow woman, or roll it on a sleigh, or run around with snow, play snowballs. When you take all the free time from your child, he will not have time to eat snow. 

If your ancestor is older.

If your baby is older, and understands what you explain to him, then you can talk to him about how harmful snow is.Tell the child that the snow is cold and he can get sick, his throat may be sore, or his teeth may hurt.Explain that in the snow are living organisms that can cause disease in our country.Say that the snow is very dirty. In the snow dust, animals running, and do their dirty business in the snow, that in the snow a lot of germs, and more. 

My advice

When you are going to go on a winter walk with your child, then bring a tea or a warm compote. Wear a baby on the weather, always consider what he will run, and he can be hot. If he eats snow "for company" in kindergarten, be sure to tell the teacher and the parents of other children about this. Solve the problem completely only by joint efforts. 

 

I also want to talk with you about what you can do with your little one in the winter.

Winter Games

The most common and famous occupation is sledding and descent on an ice hill.Whatever your baby is not tired of daily sleigh riding, you can come up with different ways.Sledge and snow are as inseparable as ice cream and a waffle cup.In our time, teenagers can not be forced to take a sled. They are looking for an easier way. In order not to carry the sleigh behind them, they take a cardboard, or a piece of linoleum, so that you can ride it on the hill and throw it away. Yes, and descent into a piece of linoleum is much faster and more extreme. A lot of different things are suitable for speeding from a roller coaster - for this purpose they are perfectly suited, for example, tires from cars, it slides very well from the mountain, allowing to develop decent speed. 

Snow Woman

Another kind of game, it's a snow woman. you can show the kid how to sculpt a woman from the snow. If you sculpt a snow woman in a big company, then you can fashion a snow family or a whole zoo of snow dwellers. And to sculpt a snow woman in a company is much more fun. 

Snow angel

All in my childhood I made a snow angel.Show the child how to lie down on the snow, slam in the snow with your hands and feet, as if you were flying. It will turn out to be a beautiful silhouette and his clothes will be snow-white and angelic, and his hands will look like wings. Help the baby to get up, and do not break the "angelic" form. Now this snow silhouette will soar in the freshness of a sunny winter day. 

Live for the little things that make us happy! Glad to see you! Thank you for voting!
