Talk to your kids about nutrition.
Take them grocery shopping, discuss which vitamins and nutrients foods contain and explain why they are important.
Expose your kids to a variety of foods so they won’t pass on something nutritious simply because it’s unfamiliar.
Look at the school lunch menu and identify healthy foods. If your child wants to brown bag it, plan a healthy meal together.
If your child wants to visit a restaurant with friends, review the menu in advance and discuss nutritious options.
Telling your kids ‘no’ too much will make them crave unhealthy foods.
Let them enjoy sweets in moderation, but emphasize the importance of good overall nutrition.
