Set a good example for your kids by eating healthy, nutrient dense foods together!
Set a good example for your kids by sharing the adventure of trying new foods and recipes!
Try not to restrict specific foods from your kids! Research has shown restricting foods causes overeating despite feeling full!
Always reward your child with attention & kind words not food! Rewarding with sweets can lead to your child believing they are better foods!
To help your child know when they have had enough food, let them serve themselves by teaching small portions first!
A child that helps in the kitchen: learns early math and science concepts and learns responsibility with cleanup!
A child that helps in the kitchen: tries and like more foods, gains confidence, learns new vocabulary, and develops small muscle skills!
Have a picky eater? Let them be “produce pickers” and help pick out fresh produce at the grocery store!
Get your kids involved in the kitchen! At 5 years of age have them measure liquids, cut soft fruits with a dull knife, or use an egg beater!
Get your kids involved in the kitchen! At 4 years of age have them set the table, crack eggs, or help measure dry ingredients!
Get your kids involved in the kitchen! At 3 years of age have them add ingredients, stir batter, or knead and shape dough!
Get your kids involved in the kitchen! At 2 years of age have them wipe tables, rinse fruits/veggies, or tear lettuce!
Make the kitchen fun! Encourage your child to invent and help prepare new snacks such as make your own trail mix!
Have a picky eater? Introduce new foods in small portions. Giving small portions will help the child develop a taste for the new foods!
Have a picky eater? Introduce new foods in small portions. Giving small portions will help the child develop a taste for the new foods!
Have a picky eater? Offer new foods multiple times! It could take up to a dozen tries for the child to accept the new food!
To help save money on fruits and vegetables, plant your own garden or a start a community garden in your neighborhood.
In order to lose weight, one will need to reduce calorie intake by 500 calories a day to lose 1 pound in a week!
The rise of obesity in children and youth can lead to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, asthma, sleep apnea, and social discrimination.
