Keep the refrigerator stocked with healthful choices. One way to teach your children about nutrition and health is to be a good role model. Eat family meals together. Eating together encourages good nutrition habits. Also when school-aged children eat in front of the television by themselves, they tend to overeat.
Younger children are apt to eat fewer nutritious foods if they ate alone.
Begin with breakfast. This starts your children off right and helps them perform better in school. Studies show that children who don't eat breakfast can have a hard time concentrating just a few hours later. Eat smart, nutritious snacks. Snacks can be as important as the main course because they refuel the body.
