If so, you're not alone. The food groups in greatest need of attention are fruits and vegetables, dairy products and whole grains.
Busy lifestyles can make ensuring the quality of children's diets very challenging.
Eating on the run, skipping meals and junk-food snacking can also be a problem. Most children need about six servings of grain-based foods, five servings of fruits and vegetables, the equivalent of three to four glasses of milk, and six ounces of meat per day. Make breakfast a priority. Studies show that breakfast eaters have a better overall diet and have less trouble concentrating and fewer behavior problems in school. An ideal breakfast includes some protein, a little fat, plenty of carbohydrates and a good source of calcium.
