Every day offer a variety of healthful foods from which a child can choose. At home, offer 5 or 6 cereal choices. Let kids mix several kinds together.
Children eat more fruit if it's cut up.
Try fruit kabobs. Serve fresh fruit with a yogurt dip. Serve with jam, jelly, peanut or apple butter or low-fat cream cheese. Limit eggs to three to four a week. Substitute two egg whites for one yolk or use egg substitutes.
