TV commercials and peer pressure for junk food can make getting your kid to eat well an uphill struggle. As a parent, you can encourage your child to evaluate their food choice and physical activity habits so that your child develop healthy habits early in life that will bring lifelong benefits. Here are few tips to educate your child about eating healthy:
Contents
1. Avoid giving your kids too many processed foods or too much soda, coke and candy. You should cook more meals at home and offer a range of healthy food to your child. When children eat a variety of foods, they get a balance of the vitamins they need to grow.
2. Help them make the right food choice by teaching them about different food groups and the value of eating healthy food. Let them have a say in what they eat by offering them a variety of healthy options.
3. Always sit together and turn off the T.V. when it is a meal or snack time. This helps create a calm environment for eating.
4.Teach your kid the basic table manners. When everyone sits together to eat, there is less chance of children eating the wrong foods or snacking too much.
5. Get your kid involved in planning or preparing the meals so that they will be more interested in eating what they have created.
6. Make a game of reading food labels. This way your kid will learn what is good for his health.
7. Encourage healthy eating habits and be a role model. Kids try to imitate everything they see around them so don’t ask your kid to eat vegetables while you gorge on potato chips.
