All children need healthful diets to learn and feel their best. However, because of behaviors and medications, it may be difficult for them to eat right. Because of their high activity level and need for calories they may crave sweets to meet their energy needs.
Medication often decreases the appetite during the daytime.
Give your child 3 regular meals. Offer a variety of health foods. Give milk to drink and fruit for dessert. Make healthful snacks part of your diet plan. Midmorning and afternoon snacks of fresh or dried fruit, graham crackers, popcorn of juice will supply calories and vitamins.
