4 NUTRITION TIPS FOR KIDS
π Following is some basic guidelines which can help you encourage your kids to eat right and maintain a healthy weight:
βοΈ Parents control the supply lines
You decide which foods to buy and when to serve them. Though kids will pester their parents for less nutritious foods, adults should be in charge when deciding which foods are regularly stocked in the house.
βοΈ Kids do as you do
Be a role model and eat healthy yourself. When trying to teach good eating habits, try to set the best example possible. Choose nutritious snacks, eat at the table, and don't skip meals.
βοΈ Rewrite the kids' menu
When eating out, let your kids try new foods and they might surprise you with their willingness to experiment. You can start by letting them try a little of whatever you ordered or ordering an appetizer for them to try.
βοΈ Quit the "clean-plate club"
Let kids stop eating when they feel they've had enough. Lots of parents grew up under the clean-plate rule, but that approach doesn't help kids listen to their own bodies when they feel full.
Besides, children need different amounts of specific nutrients at different ages. So, consider these nutrient-dense foods:
π Protein
π Fruits
π₯ Vegetables
π° Grains
π§ Dairy
π£ Fat
