That's why it's important to start early in developing sound health and safety habits. First, set a good example.
Children learn from their parents' habits.
If you make a habit of, for example, enjoying a well-balanced, nutritious breakfast, in time your children will get the message. Have children assist in planning and preparing meals. Second, in addition to balanced meals, serve nutritious snacks. Snacks, particularly energy-providing grains, are an important dietary supplement for children, who eat smaller portions during regular meals. Finally, stay in control.
