Have the attitude that, sooner or later, your child will learn to eat most all foods. Make mealtime as pleasant as possible. This may lead overeating which can cause your child to gain too much weight. Children will be hungry at mealtime if snacks have been limited during the day. Provide examples of healthy eating habits.
Preschoolers mimic what they see their parents doing.
If you eat a lot of junk food, your child will not learn to eat healthy. The food guide pyramid can help you and your child eat a variety of foods while encouraging the right amount of calories and fat. Choose the proper number of servings from each food group for your child each day. Click here to view the Online Resources page of this web. Please take the time to read our disclaimer .
