Children, who are learning and growing at a rapid rate, use up lots of energy. Their bodies need healthy foods to provide this energy. Many parents are concerned about how they can get their children to eat nutritious foods. And mealtime can become stressful for the whole family when children won't eat what parents think they should. The following suggestions can help your children develop and maintain good eating habits.
Children always eat best in a relaxed atmosphere.
Try to make mealtimes pleasant and calm so the family can enjoy one another. Choose some other time to solve family problems. Children learn from example. You are their best teacher. Don't use food as a reward or punishment.
