It’s 2 PM and children are rushing back home from a tedious
and hard day. Some tired and dull half asleep and others hungry and excited to
eat something good at home. Now, what I wanted to discuss is what do you serve
to these kids as mothers as caretakers and as parents. It’s your liability to nourishyour children with good and balanced food. Today mothers are not so worried
about the nutritional point of view of their children’s diet.
I can give thousands of examples of mother’s serving cookies
or Maggie as lunch to their children after they return from school. Let me ask
you one thing, is this what you were served by your parents when you were a
child. I remember my school days, when my mother and grandmother used to cookfresh food for us when we returned from school and we ate hot complete food
with vegetables rice and pulses.
This was not the only case of lunch, but even in breakfast
while going to school, the children of that era were forced to eat parathas,
hot milk and almonds as daily diet. This gave them strength for the whole day. This
breakfast gave nourishment and energy for the whole day and the children were very
energetic and sporty at that time.
Children had only one personal conveyance at that time and it
was “A Cycle”. Going to school by cycle was highly trending those days and thus
the children were very fit and energetic due to these regular exercises twice a
day.
But, where are
those mothers gone? Is a big question in the society of dull
and obese children? Parents blame children for this and forget that somewhere
they only are responsible for all this. Their lack of interest in cooking
balanced and nourished food is the major reason behind these under-nourished
and sick children. By ‘sick’ it doesn’t mean that the child is medically unfit,
but it means that the child is deficient of several necessary nutrients due to
increased intake of junk foods and aerated drinks.
So, when your child comes from school today, cook the world’s
best home-made food full of nutrients love and mothers touch for him/her. This
will be the best gift you could ever give to your children.
