It is Never Too Late Nor Too Early to Encourage Healthy Food Habits

Children Learn from Parents

Parents and care givers take A to Z care of their kid’s meals and snacks. Given below are few ideas to inspire your child to eat healthy food that will stay with him/her for a lifetime.

• Be the perfect role model. Set the best example for your child by consuming a variety of healthy foods as a family.
• Your child too has his/her preferences. Allow your child to choose or reject foods. Everyone, including small children, have different tastes and choices.
• Don’t over stick to rules. This would make your child crave even more for the forbidden food.
• Involve your child in preparing food. You can engage your children, even young kids, in simple activities like making salads, fruits bowls or sprinkling seasonings on vegetables. This makes them delighted to try the prepared dish as their effort is involved in it. Kid-friendly recipes are available at the website www.firsteatright.com.

Instead of preaching good nutrition and values, serve nutritional meals to your kids right from childhood to make them aware of healthy food habits.
